I'm finding the hill climbing tough on my 36'er with 125's, but I am slowly building up my power. In a perfect world I would like to have tried a 29" Schlumpf.

36" with 125s is the perfect uni for this ride IMO.

There are only two really significant hills (Ditchling and one about halfway, can't remember exactly where), the rest of the ride is undulating but anyone with reasonable fitness should be able to ride it all. Even if you walk a few hills the big wheel/short cranks will make the rest of the ride much easier. It's certainly doable on a 29er but there are some long sections where 29ers will struggle to keep up.

We seem to have a fairly even split over the two proposed dates. I'm gonna go with 16th July 2011. I hope the added 5 weeks will mean that we can gather more riders / participants.

The list so far - - - feel free to add you name:

1.) Tom F (One Wheel Good) --------- 36"
2.) Roger Davies (OKish rider) --------- 36"
3.) Sam Wakeling (redwelly) --------- g36"
4.) Paul Royle (paul royle) ------------ 36"
5.) Jam S (jam96)-------------------- 36"
6.) Geoff Bond (Monocyclism) --------- 36"
7.) Steve Colligan (steve.colligan)
8.) Sam Goodburn (SamGoodburn) -- 29" or 36"
9.) Ben Glynn (stingingkneeben) ---- 29" or 36"
10.) Alan Chambers ------------------- 36"
11.) Barry Gates (barrygates)
12.) Tue Johansen (tujotomi)
13.) Tom Holland

Please could you confirm that your going to participate for the Uni L2B 16th July 2011.

Thanks all, and hope that you all can make the proposed date

.

Tom F.

One Wheel Good · 2011-04-08, 10:03 AM

That's a real shame guys. Maybe I choose the wrong date!!!

Lets see how many can / cant make it.

It's not written in stone yet as the press have not been informed.
