  1. Just wanted to tell everyone that chocfest is ON this year in York - it
    will be held on the 3rd of July in Fishergate Primary School - There'll
    be plenty to do all day, and especially for the unicyclists, I'll be
    getting a muni/trials ride organised (there'll be plenty of space for
    riding around at the school too).

    If you want more info go to http://www.chocfest.net

    Finally - if you're interested in the muni ride reply to this and tell
    me what sort of level you want it pitched at - we can't do much really
    difficult stuff because York's terrain doesn't lend it's self to it, but
    we can get some trials stuff done probably.

    Preferably after Tuesday when my exams are done 🙂

  3. Sure, just come along to either Town or Uni juggle soc and I'm sure
    there will be jobs needing done - Sam is in charge of it all... In the
    mean time, any ideas for where a muni ride could get taken - I was
    thinking down the river and have some bits and bobs prepared to [censored]
    around on... You got any idea of how to make a muni course out of Yorks
    incredibly flat terrain?

    York doesn't really lend itself to muni! The best places I found in York
    itself were near the racecourse. Along the western edge there's a strip
    with a track down it, with occasional random concrete structures and
    steps between this and the road.

    Down there somewhere there is a small wooded patch, in the south west
    corner of the racecourse I think. Riding through forests counts as muni,
    even if it does only take five minutes to get from one side to the
    other!

    From there you can also head up the river, which is "pleasant" rather
    than "extreme", but still enjoyable.

    There is also a strip near the university campus, alongside Windmill
    Lane (I think?) from Heslington church up to Hull Road. There is a trail
    running from end to end, which is pretty good fun. It's a fairly windy
    trail with a few short steep bits, roots, a set of steps and various
    logs dotted along its length.

    If you can somehow get a little further out, Wheldrake Wood a few miles
    south east is good for a proper ride.

    Right, that thing I keep forgetting about 🙂

    Hmm, haven't really found anywhere for muni-ing around here. Most of the
    stuff which I reckon would be suitable tends to involve heading out a
    fair way first.

    I'll have a look at the OS map and potter about a bit.

    Yeh, this was what I was probably going to go for - down the river to
    the race course and [censored] about.

    Someone suggested going to selby, but I think a 15 mile each way uike
    ride is stretching it for a juggling convention 😉

    Yeh, unfortunately, we're quite a way from the uni this year, and
    anyway, the builders have kinda cocked up that strip 🙁
