Cool Pictures from the Long Island Greenbelt Muni Ride

Thank You everyone for attending the 3rd monthly Long Island Muni Ride. For a holiday weekend we had a great turnout. Even the sun came for this one!! We had riders from 4 different states (NY, NJ, CT, PA)

From PA was Nick (UnicyclePA) and his Mom. Nick is an extremely aggressive Muni and Trials rider. And he’s only 15.Great job Nick…Mom ripped up the trails on two wheels for the day…nice job mom!!!


From CT was Dan(DanLee) and Adam Lee, Dan, like Nick, is also an aggressive Trials rider looking to hop more than a bunny can. Adam, his younger brother flew through the trails like a bird on his schwinn 24”. Mom and Dad took a tour of the trails with us and then on their own.. Good to have you with us!!!

From NY was Steve(Dogbowl) and his daughter Sophie. This was their first experience in the Muni world and what a performance they both displayed! Good Luck in Paris and we can’t wait to have you both back!!!

From Long Island was our buddy Jeff(Shibumi). This was his last Muni ride on his almost Muni Sun 28”..Next ride he’ll be riding on his new friendly KH29”. We can’t wait to see you get up that big hill now

From NJ was our new friend Gregg(Unipsychler) and author of the book Ride The Unicycle, A Crash Course!..(ridetheunicycle.com). Gregg, a 32 year veteran of unicycling brought his 20” Muni and displayed some quality skills in the trails. We thank you for making the video as humorous as you did too!!!

Thanks again to my wife Renie for the great food, and for meeting us at the various locations to video us and take the great still shots that everyone took home.

Then we can’t forget Lucy, our four legged daughter who enjoyed licking everyone hello and goodbye. She misses you all!

As a reminder, our rides will be held on the first Saturday of each month at 10:30am. We will send reminders out and look forward to seeing more of you join us…..

He loves to be airborne! Who can blame him?

Cool Gregg (Unipsychler)

He used to be a distance rider. Now he's a distance and Muni rider. Twice the workout!!
And he's not done yet! Great ride.

Talking Jeff (Shibumi)

He flies through the trails with a stock Sun 28”. Imagine what’s possible with his new KH29”.
We’ll find out soon enough.

Hey Adam!
What a GREAT day that was! Thanks to you and Renie for setting the whole thing up and for your groovy hospitality!!

Everyone out there, these trails are AWESOME!! This was my first Muni experience (and Sophie's too) and we're totally hooked! Great for beginners (those of you who have wondered what it would be like to try Muni with other unicyclers, but could never find the right situation) and it's obviously just as great as well for the experienced Muniers as well--lots of hills and obsticles and such. And plenty of places where the roots and stones are JUST RIGHT--I started off hesitating every time I approached a large root, but after a while I was plowing through 'em. As Adam pointed out, Muni helps your riding in general, and I was happy to discover this as I got back to the city, that night, I was riding twice as good. Incredible!

So if there's anyone out there in the tri-state area who would like to check out a really fun Muni scene in a friendly, relaxed, totally excellent environment with some of the nicest people you are bound to run into, you absolutely have to come to one of these monthly events on Long Island. You won't regret it!

Great Time

This was the first time I had ever gathered together with other unicyclist and it was awesome. The ride had a great variety of everything and challenged riders of every level. The only regret I have is that me and Adam will not be able to attend next month, because we are going away on vacation, but you can expect to see us in September, can't wait.

-Dan

Thumbs up Don't forget Mom and Dad

Dan and Adam are very lucky to have a Mom and Dad to drive them out to Long Island for a day of riding.
Don't worry they were happy touring the trails on their own after leaving us.

Smile Dog Bowl"s Daughter Sofie

First time on the trails but you would never know. As she found out a day on the trails improves your street riding. Great Job!
