Big Wheel Party (Berkeley bike routes and waterfront paths, Sunday October 7th)
If MUni and basketball sound like too much work for you, come join us for a leisurely group party on flat roads and paths along the Berkeley waterfront. There will be a thumping sound system riding along with us to get everyone in the party mood. We would recommend at least a 29" unicycle, but this is not a race, so feel free to ride whatever you have. There may be some extra big wheel unis around; come by a little early, and if you're lucky, you'll get to try out someone's Coker (36" wheel) or a geared unicycle!
The entire ride is 13km (8 miles), and it will probably take about two hours. There's a shorter option for people who have smaller wheels or who just don't want to do that much distance; you can meet us at the Sea Breeze Market and Deli, just on the west side of the freeway, and loop around the Berkeley Marina from there.
