London UK Uni-Meet. It's happening again!

[Sponge]

Myself and Joe Hodges have decided that it's time for another gathering in London. The dates can be one of four days:

21st saturday
22nd Sunday
28th saturday
29th sunday (all October dates)

Meeting spot is near the London eye by some sloped dark walls, directly opposite the Shell Centre. Anyone's welcome to join us, I'd actually encourage you come along if you can. Though its mainly an urban trials/street kinda thing, I'm sure keen photographers, freestylists and Muni riders will have plenty to do as well...

I'll get a final suitable date when people start posting, tell me when's suitable for you, and I'll arrange stuff... so far, myself, Joe Hodges, Steve (afro guy)and his friend Brendan will be there.

I'm expecting you guys to turn up :
Mike Penton
gkmac
Mike (swarbrim)
amanda
lucas
domesticated ape
Dave (kington)
antoine
Eddbmxdude & Leo Hawkes
More details to come soon...

Cool

I think there's a SWUM on the 21st, which quite a few of the riders you mentioned will probably be at. I'm thinking about doing an MTB orienteering thing (on the muni of course) on the 22nd, but I'm not sure about it yet.
The weekend after I might not be around either, so I'll have to wait and see what date is best for everyone else before I can say whether or not I can come.

[swarbrim]

I need to think about this, but I believe that half-term (for us students ) is from the 21st sat to the next sunday 29th. Just throwing that out there for you guys.

Well atleast 4 of your list are very likely to be at SWUM on 21st Oct, especially as 3 of them live, relatively, close to SWUM.

DA and I are already committed to a different ride on the 22nd, assuming I get up in time after returning from SWUM.

I'll probably come, but like last time I'll probably be doing more filming. Unlike last time I'll probably not bring a uni at all, being too much of a coward.

Now I've got two 1Gb cards (14 minutes each) as well as the portable hard drive, I might make a more serious attempt at filming you guys doing crazy things. Who knows, I might be able to edit a full length video...

Sunday 29th October would be best for me. I'll be at SWUM on the 21st of October and maybe still there on the 22nd, and I'm working on the 28th.

At the moment any of those days are good for me, but the sooner you can
pick a day the better as it gives me enough time to plan ahead a bit
more.

first weekend's no good for me, the second may be better (unless I go to the Coup de France in Nantes, but that's doubtful at the moment)

It's a good social event, well recommended!

Cool. The last London ride inspired me to get a trials uni, but I haven't had much opportunity/time to ride it yet so I'd definitely be up for it. & any of those dates is fine for me.

Why not bring the freestyle GK? There's plenty of flat space on the South Bank for skills practice or just cruising around.

The freestyle's 110psi tyre is no good for hopping around, and I wouldn't even try to ride that virtually solid thing down a set of stairs.

Even with my muni I never did anything at all at the April session. Everybody who was there knew that; being a non-trials rider I shouldn't have been there. I just don't know where Sponge gets the idea that I should come along.

Hey!

Im well up for this! The last meet rocked, even though me and Leo had to leave early! Im in the process of building a lovely new trials uni at the mo so should be ready for about then. 28th or 29th would be better as I would have been paid on the 25th, otherwise I don't know if I would be able to afford it.

GK, its not about how good you are, no one minds if you are not as good as Joe! Its a great social event, a good chance to get to meet and talk to a few other unicyclists and just genrally chill out.

I will get hold of AJ as im sure he would love to come along aswell.

Rock on!

I know, that's why I said about the flat space! Of course you don't have to bring a uni, but if you are going to go anyway you might as well bring one just to cruise around on. I don't think I could bear to be around other unicyclists for half a day and have nothing to ride on.

If you are worried about riding it in public, don't forget that if you are hanging around with all the other unicyclists everyone will be looking in your direction anyway, so you might as well be riding too!

Please do it on the twenty eigth casue I'll be back in England then. Also, can anyone lend me a Uni.

[mikepenton]

If I come I'll bring a spare 24 Muni, I'll post when I know I'm coming!

[amanda.gallacher]

if i can get a cheap bus/train there then i will go.

edit: bus would cost me about £14 which is pretty good. i'm really considering it. what kinda times you thinking about meeting up?
