Spring is here!!

Hello there.......just come out of hibernation.......spent an hour on Saturday morning on the 'uni'....very unbalanced after nearly six months without a practice but managed to get going within 10 - 15 attempts!!! Great feeling knowing I can still do it but do need to practice more regularly!!!.

Autumn Already??????

Have just been for a practice on my uni, without the trauma of having to get back the balance! I always have a fear that I will lose the 'knack' of it if I have not been on for a while!.

This morning before I went out, I was feeling a little 'down', the combined thoughts of winter coming(I HATE LONG DARK NIGHTS AND SHORT DAYS), the realisation that chasing balloons will come to an end within the next month and the idea of working in a workshop with oil and noise and dust for 5 months!!. Don't get me wrong, I love the people I work with at English Wirework and really appreciate the fact that my winter commute to work is only a 2 minute bike ride but boy o boy do I miss the summer, crap as the British one can be at times!!!! However.......after half an hour messing around on one wheel, doing something many people would not even attempt, my feeling of well being and self confidence is now through the roof!!! Bloody good therapy for the cost of a night in the pub!.

Back in the Saddle!!!

Wooowhoooo.....Got back on the Uni this morning after a long break......20 odd attempts to mount from the curb before I had the confidence to stay up and cycle....It took a massive amount of concentration to get the hang of it again, mainly because I was not used to focusing, which is the key as far as I am concerned. However, after the initial problems, within 20 minutes I was away down the small country road I now practice on, and walking back to the house through the little estate, I mounted again and rode to the front of my house!.....I have not lost the buzz of being able to ride my Uni and have made a pact with my self to get on it everyday that the weather and work permits.......my incentive is to do a charity ride sometime in the near future......

I am back in mind...

Have had a hectic couple of months moving....holidays etc and no chance to unicycle....but I am now in the position to start thinking about training up again!! wooooowhoooo!!! I actually miss falling over and wobbling........

Moving House

Totally off track here.........moving to Corsham as soon as poss.....anyone out there know anyone with a house that has a large second bedroom, garden and do not mind two cats moving in also..........We want to rent long term, while daughter goes to Corsham School.....need to move by end of August at the latest!!!!

Nice little practice

Quick run around the cull-de-sac this morning, balance good and managed a few circuits of the driveway, still working too much to get regular practice but I suppose that is a double edged sword as I would be a sad man without work!

Back on track

Been busy the last few weeks with work and stuff.....but had a practice yesterday(Sat) and off again today in the hot sun!.....Still trying to 'free mount' but had little time to practice.....no excuse .....will MAKE time over the next few days and weeks to practice REALLY hard!
