I think I am doing the opposite of what I should do to prepare. I should
be riding a lot to get in shape, instead I am not riding at all...

I haven't been prepping much on the Muni side of things... I ride maybe
5 miles of muni every other weekend... although I've been doing mad
trials practice... 4-6 hrs. a week.

Yeah, I'll be sucking wind the whole weekend. Cardio fitness is not my
bag.

Yeah, at least you's can go to CMW. I'm stuck here 1000 miles away and
want to go badly. Oh well, I'll be the one to get everything ready for
the Moab Mune Fest 8 months early:o

Me too. I've been trying to prepare the event, but as for myself I
haven't been on a unicycle since the last day of Unicon...

Yes, CMW doesn't mean anything to people if they don't already know
about it. Not everybody reads every thread in here. California Mountain
Unicycle Weekend (the original) http://www.unicycling.com/muni/2006/
Please try to use the full name, or at least CA MUni Weekend and
include the link so people can go straight to the info. Maps and
directions to follow (on the site)!

Hey John Foss, I am prepared for Ca. muni weekend ( although I can only
make it to Sundays ride) I have been riding hard everyday and when time
is not an issue I have been rideing 16 miles to work and getting in a
good XC ride every weekend and a couple rides up in Auburn on top of
my nightly 4-5 mile ride with my dog and "_NOW_" I still wont say I can
keep up with you when you get movin but I dont think I will be slowing
you down anymore

Dude, you wanna do some Coker rides at Folsom Lake? Rob's down, when
he gets back next week.

Let me know...

Jess

P.S.

I've been preparing for CMW by getting my Magura brake back in order.
Apparently, it's a great idea for Downievil. This is a great reason
for everyone that's coming to splurge and buy a brake.

I have been preparing for the weekend by working on my hot tub lounging
technique, beer drinking, food eating, and muni riding. Cause that's
what I'm going to be doing that weekend. Only not in California or
Nevada.

No CA/Nevada Muni Weekend for me this year. But I'll still have fun.

I'm still not sure I'm going to make it yet, but I generally keep myself
fit enough that I could do one 3-4 hour ride a week. So, to prep for
three epic days of riding, I'll probably do a bunch of riding two weeks
before and then ease off for a couple days prior. Lately, I've been
working on a lot of technique more than anything else--things like
stopping and hopping with either foot forward and descending smoothly.

It's always tough for me to find time to train during the summer, but
I've been managing to do about one significant ride each weekend. This
weekend I hope to have time to do one small ride and one big ride, to
check out my recovery time. I'm also busy promoting the Berkeley
Juggling and Unicycle Festival (which is the weekend after CMW), so I
have a couple of parades in September; I'm hoping to get people
together for rides after those.

With Downieville being on Friday, there are going to be a lot of very
sore legs on the Saturday and Sunday rides. Last time I did
Downieville my legs were so sore that evening and the next day that
walking was uncomfortable.

One smart way to prepare would be to have a masseuse or masseur at the
bottom to give you a good leg massage immediately after the ride.

Filling the hydration pack with Gatorade instead of water and taking a
few salt (electrolyte) tablets along may also help.

JC, you are as always the man. Guess this is a throw-down, means that
Marie and I better get our Ride 'N Feed act together.

Since we won't be able to replicate the Lloyd's Street Competition at
CMW, we will again re-create the "Harper Memorial Least Stable Trials
Obstacle" competition. Still waiting to see if anyone can beat the
'original submission'

I typed "MUni Weekend 2006" into Google just now and it was the first
two hits. Interestingly, someone has asked this basic question on every
MUni Weekend thread other than the "official" one I started first (with
the URL in it). 🙂

Swimming, or any other form of working out, especially aerobic, will
help your cardio-vascular fitness. I need to do some of that too...
