The Facebook group Unicycle Northwest is now in its third year with over 150 members all of which unicycle or are trying to learn! We have had many group rides throughout the year, averaging a couple a month. Here are a few of our high points.
In February Rob, Steve & Julian rode around Northwich Parklands -you can still get fantastic weather and have fun riding in the depths of winter.
The Monsal Trail in Derbyshire is a fantastic ride through several long tunnels, well worth a ride.
The Pennies in the Park unicycle race attracted only 5 entrants this year - quality rather than quantity!
The Skyride city rides are a great way to get out riding -we had a large contingent at the Bolton Skyride and a smaller group went to York in the Autumn
The second national road race was held in Horwich this year, the start providing an exciting spectacle, won by Matt Morris
The 24hour event run by JUST was special, meeting up with the unicycling community. Aaron Moran in the yellow top won the event completing 301km.
Ride the lights is a highlight of the year, riding along the prom in Blackpool just after the August Bank Holiday. We had over 30 riders -lots more welcome next year...
We welcome active riders from the North West of England to joint our Facebook group - Unicycle Northwest, hope you can make some of our rides....
