Minnesota eh #3

Sledding with Mom, Celin, Celin's friend Alex, and Alex's almost 3 year old Nathan.

Minnesota eh #2

So there's more fun in the snow today, skiing and sledding along with a violin recital. Hey what's the only thing meaner than bringing a tone deaf guy to a little kids recital? Answer after pictures.

Answer: Bringing a guy who's not. Just kidding, some of them were pretty good, as far as I could tell.

Minnesota eh. #1

Back in the frozen flatland for a bit without a uni. So there are things to be done, some sledding and some kites. Here's what I got from today.

 Celin and I go for a run together.

 Mom tries her hand at it, or rather her butt.

Celin triumphant.

Snow Session 3 and Snowshoeing

So the unicycle pics are from the morning of Friday the 3rd. The snowshoe stuff is from getting a christmas tree today.

The Hanta Virus Cave

Leigh wanted to work her project a climb called Weapons of Mass Destruction on the last nice fall day (Sunday), so I brought the uni. That trail is loose, narrow, and scary, but I rode some anyhow.

Town Session #3 (Bozeman)

Here are some shots of us with our new battle armor (Thanks Joe). The light was strange, so the shots are all blue'ish.

Brakes!

I know everybody thought Muni couldn't be cooler, but then I got a set of Magura pneumatic brakes from the bike kitchen. I need a slightly better mounting scheme for the lever, but they work like a charm.

Why yes, that is a piece of a handlebar. Thanks for noticing. See that the brakes really work below.

Update: Figured the mounting system out, turns out the answer is always in the internet.

MSU M Hiking Trail

Success! Failure! My ass hurts! Our trail rally up the M was a triumph. We walked most of the medium steep trail up the M, turns out Muniing is about hiking up and riding down, then we rode down putting our trials skills to the test on some slippery and uneven rock.

I took a huge spill on a rocky ride across and sliced up my elbow and bruised my ass something serious. We both had some success on the rocks and lots of fun riding the wider dirt sections (switchback turning is challenging).
