Wow, more riders, this is sooooo great. I am really busy today, but if I have some time at lunch I can update with the details. Otherwise, expect an answer late tonight between 10:00 pm and Midnight PST.

Cheers!

Most likely we will be driving up Fri night, leaving Sun. Not sure what levels
we should register for.
Any advice or info would be much appreciated

Thanks, and the increased interest is appreciated. The more the merrier!
I put up a web page here http://www.unicycleroundupla.com/key...trialsinfo.htm
It has a lot of the most recent information. There is information on that page that is not below. Registration is in person on the day of the competition. See more below.

The practice day is Friday, March 17 and the competition is on Saturday March 18.

For everyone that is intended on coming to the event, whether as a competitor or observer, I need your email address so I can put you on my email list. Email me, don't PM, at teachndad (att) aol (dott) com.

According to the organizer, campsites are pretty much wherever you can find an open plot of land. Sites aren't marked. Thus, reservations for campsites are not necessary. The registration is in person on Saturday morning at a sign in table that is supposed to have signs pointing to it. Registration is $25 or $30 dollars per participant.

There are 4 different classes, Pro, Expert, Sport, and Beginner. I recommend you scope out the sections on Friday, or Saturday morning before 9 am. to see what sections you can ride. Signs will mark sections with the appropriate difficulty rating. You pick what level you think you can both ride and feel challenged by, and then sign up for that class. Rider meeting is at 9:45 am.

We will be competing against the bike trials riders, not in our own class. Our goal is to make them cry for their mommies, once they see what we can do on one wheel” – I paraphrase Maestro.

If you have any questions, email me.

Current TEAM of ONE members include

GerbleFranklin – Bevan
Maestro – Jason Heiman
Mango – Erik
XtrialsX – Jake Sprague

Observers/ riders?
Teachndad – Rod Wylie
Corbin Dunn
Terry Bigwheel - Terry Peterson

We are the TEAM of ONE! Who needs 2 wheels, anyway...

All For ONE and ONE for ALL

Cheers.

I just checked the weather forcast for Lake Isabella, where the Keyesville trials are scheduled to take place this Saturday. It is calling for RAIN both Friday and Saturday! Now, we ALL know that the "weatherman" is not always right, but if it DOES rain on competition day, will it simply be rescheduled, or will the show still go on?

[Jerrick]

I'm not going, but if its raining, i say ride that place like there is no tomorrow, the rain just adds to the whole experience, and if they move it, i guess youll have to wait a little longer =p

[The Munieer]

Terry brings up an important point.
I emailed the organizer and will post his response later.

I found this weather info at http://www.wunderground.com/US/CA/Lake_Isabella.html

It shows 20 percent chance of rain on Saturday and 50 percent on Friday. The important day is Saturday, the day of the comp. We'll see how it changes as we get closer. But, check out the high and lows. It'll be cold by So Cal standards.

[teachndad]

20 percent chance of rain isn't enough, for me, to call off going up to Keyesville. I can sweat that, but the water may effect the sections, in that, there may be pools of water that we will have to ride through. Bring extra shoes, socks and pants.

BTW, the issue of moving the event is not mine to make. This is not my event. I am just trying to gather some unicycle riders together to compete within the event. This is a national bike trials competition, so, I doubt that it will get moved.

As of this post, I still haven't heard back about Terry's rain question.

Cheers!!

I'm going to keep my eye on the weather. Bevan and I may not come if we're going to have to camp out in the rain... I'll email you if we decide to cut out.

Camp out? Why not just come out on Saturday? There is an 80% chance that it WON'T rain that day, but a bit more likely on Friday. I'll be watching the weather too, and a few light showers won't keep me away....unless all or most of the other uni-ers decide to bail, there what's the point?

We've got a considerable drive between here and there. I'd rather come a day early, get a chance to preview the terrain, and get a halfway decent rest the day before whooping some bike riders' butts. I won't be a happy dude rolling out of bed before the sun comes up, driving five hours, then getting thrown into a national event.

I hear ya. That's exactly why I'm leaving TWO days before the moab (Day 1 Friday) munifest so I can have at least one day to recover and rest from the 12 hour drive!

I just checked the forecast, and that chance has been bumped to 40%. Looks like the storm is a little behind schedule. This is not looking good!

Man, I was really looking forward to having Jason and Bevan ride. Not having you guys ride is worse than the storm rolling in. But, that sucks too.

I have connections... I will see what I can do about the storm.

If that doesn't pull through, you could just erect a big tent over the course. I'll wear my big shoes and a red nose and it'll really turn into a circus
