Robert Hickman is putting together a ride this Tuesday. This from his email:

————————————————
Hi! We’re looking for some folks to unicycle across a few NYC bridges with us. We’re planning to do them all. This Tuesday we’re doing the Lower Harlem Five. Any mention on your site would be appreciated. Our blog address is: unicyclenycbridgetour.blogspot.com
————————————————

Interested parties can contact Rob here.

Unicon XV is the 15th edition of the  International Unicycle World Championships and Convention. It is a biennial event that is held by the International Unicycling Federation (IUF).

Unicon XV is scheduled to take place  December 28, 2009 – January 7, 2010. in Wellington, New Zealand.  View map

Every two years the IUF schedules Unicon to be  held in a different country. This will be the first time it is being held in the southern hemisphere of the planet.

If you would like to show your unicycle skills to a truly international audience or, would like to join unicyclist from all over the world, then consider a trip to  New Zealand where this will all be possible.

NYUC’s own, Unatic James Sui, has already committed to making the trip to a land down under  in order to compete at this convention.

For many more details regarding this event including travel and accommodation information, please  consult the Unicon XV website.

If you do not visit this site often you may not realize that there are some older posts that are still very relevant and maybe some activities  that you still have an opportunity to participate in.  As we add new content to the site less recent content gets pushed to the back becoming like buried treasure.  The left side of the homepage lists the site’s post categories for all of the site’s articles.  When you click through, the first link you may see at the top (« Older Entries)  is your access to older club content.  So don’t hesitate to explore.

The Western North Carolina Unicycle Club has scheduled their third annual Muni Festival Weekend that will take place on September 25 -27, 2009.  Located in Asheville North Carolina, which is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  They apparently have some great trails to ride on, Visit the Festival website for additional details and Registration.

Or even just 15? There are alternate (and overlapping) routes that can suit the experience and abilities of many of our riders.

I’ve completed a century (actually, 102 miles — it varies from year to year, and the route seems to average about 105 miles), and last year I came close but had to stop after ‘only’ 85 miles.
It’s Sunday, Sept 13, 2009

For additional information visit the NYC Century Bike Tour website:  www.nyccentury.org

More to come.

For those of you considering the annual unicycle convention:

Early registration ends in 16 days, June 10. Early registration fee $75 for competitor and $38 for non-competitor.

A non-competitor is anyone who would like to participate in any
non-competitive activity such as the fun distance, MUni, street rides,
practice on the trials obstacles, participate in games or ride in the
gym during the week. The non-competitor also includes the parents who
support their unicyclists throughout the week; this is an additional
way to support the NAUCC event and participate in any non-riding
activities.

Please note that grandparents and other family and friends are welcome
to stop by during the week to see the NAUCC activities and they’re
attendance is free.

Please share this note with Clubs & teams members and unicycling enthusiasts.

(From Mel Zeller’s email forward.)

Mark your calendars!

We are set to meet twice in June as usual. June 7 is our next meeting
(first Sunday of the month), but June 20 is going to have a special
focus: Ultimate Wheels!

If you own an ultimate wheel, plan to bring it. Maybe we’ll see how
many UWs we can have riding at the same time.

See you at the Tomb!
