  1. Several months ago, I wrote about 4 hills that were on the
    way from the Selkerk Trestle to my house. I finally defeated
    the last of these hills today!

    I have been feeling for a while that I should be able to
    tackle the hill right at the end of the trestle if only I
    were to get there fresh enough, rather than after riding for
    an hour before getting there.

    Today, I didn't have as much time so I took a shortcut. I
    told myself that the only defeat lay in not trying, and I
    went for it. I wobbled a lot, but I made it to the top.
    What a rush!!!

    Now I am starting to feel ready to think about Muni.

  2. Congratulations on conquering those hills!

    Yeah, first things first. So when do you think you will have
    finished the process of starting to feel ready to think
    about MUni? And then when you feel ready, will you begin
    thinking about MUni rightaway? How long would you think
    about MUni before you have the idea that you are ready to
    buying one? Etc.

    I have a feeling you might need two points of contact with
    the ground for such a thing to work? Or at least training
    wheels on the front and rear. - John Foss commenting on a
    picture of a one-wheeled vehicle he saw on RSU.

  3. Actually, my 20" is outfitted as MUni now with a fat tire,
    pinned pedals, and reinforced frame. The hard part is
    figuring out where to go that has some trails that match my
    (low) ability. A new uni is out of the question for this
    year, anyway.

    Anyone out there know about trails in the Victoria area? I
    have not been there, but I suspect that Hartland may be
    beyond my ability yet.
