Sarah Miller is running another South-West UniMeet in Exeter on July 13th, a Sunday this time.
Full details are at http://www.uk.unicyclist.com/swum17.html, but the only important things is the cost of £6 for adults and £5 for under 16s & students, plus clean tyres and plastic pedals so we don't wreck the nice floor.
I'm gonna try and get there, mainly to spectate and meet everyone and also maybe to Schlumpf around the big hall.
Anyone else coming along?

I won't be able to make that one. I'm doing an audax ride in Cornwall with Tue (who'll probably still be in Lobster mode, so I'll need my speedy legs on).

Well I went, I guess I was one of about 11 other people there.
I got to meet Sarah Miller, Keith and his son Danny, and Brendan again (who confused everyone by not wearing bright red shorts), and also got to meet Dane and Dan (who confused everyone by wearing Brendan's red shorts). Mike Swarbrick popped in half way through, unable to ride due to ankle issues but still good to catch up on some stories.
We got to do various things including the slalom course, a couple of hockey matches and some high jump and long jump challenges, plus a couple of IUF level tests.
As always I didn't really do much, but for some reason my Schlumpf 29er acts like a magnet to other riders despite having a rather high seatpost. A few riders had a try and succeeded in getting the thing going in high gear, especially Brendan who could fluently shift gears up and down on his first go.
All in all, a good day.
The next SWUM will be on Saturday 1st November, with an emphasis on kickstarting freestyle riding in the UK.

Yep was very nice.
And even signed up to these forums.
Got some high jumping over a bar going and long jumping. Got 80cm over the bar and 2.20m long jumping. Pretty good for swum me thinks! Also managed to do my level 4 so i'm just an allround chufty!
Cheers,
brendan
