Well I met up with said friend, who is actually the one who got me into onewheeling a few months ago. Great time as always.

I managed to ride some rough trails to get to a hill and see this famous UK aerobatics team up close. 11.6 miles total ridden but most of that was zooming back and forth on new but as of yet incomplete roads.

Towcester crew 👊
Zoomies and nuggies on a Friday night.

@hanahsdax that's so cool.

I found a new tunnel where the new bypass crosses an old bridleway.

2/2

Roman villa.

Concrete cows.

Nearly there now. The rails are green/purple flip paint which is very difficult to show in a photo, and the fluoro orange was meant to be red but that's how it came out. 🤷

One of my favourite places to OW, the forest with (mostly) nice compacted gravel paths.

Last week I went south, this week I have gone north. I rode over 15 miles this evening, a distance PB for me.
And what an evening it was.

The group ride was as awesome as I hoped, I'm really looking forward to the next.

Never a dull moment with this one!

Tonight I rode round a really cool piece of landscape sculpture. She's called Northumberlandia, or Lady of the North, and yes the immature among us (you know who you are) will notice she is quite, ahem, well endowed.

Reckon I can drop this? ;)

@silversurfer probably the best bridge in the world ;)

@lemur the last I heard the BMS may be charge only, but I'll just be glad if it doesn't power down at 20mph again, spraying me across the tarmac like a jam donut.

Finally some good weather in the UK. Next time, I'm gonna make it all the way up that hill in the background.

The weather was good today so I got out on an ADVenture with the floatwheel. Paths and trails both familiar and new. I think this photo is the pick of the bunch I took.

The Aussies are nuts, I'm not surprised by this given one of them tried to pay a utility bill with a drawing of a spider.
20 - 23mph is easy on the floatwheel. I've had it up to 27mph on flat terrain many times but I hit push back and can't get out of my head that I could hit an unseen bump or a deer might run in front of me, or any number of unknowns. I'd like to crack 30 at some point just to say I've done it. The big difference really is the extra torque gives you so much more acceleration from standing and the thing just swallows hills.

I lowered the board one notch because I wanted to try it. It feels so good, so stable. The fender doesn't fit now but I don't think I can go back. 😭

It's a beautiful day here, my cars in for a service so what better to do whilst I wait than have a ride round the town?

I have a new tyre/tire! It's a 6.5" Hoosier treaded, very similar to a T2. The floatwheel is now much carvier and is bound to have more off road grip. It was an absolute nightmare to fit, after several attempts (thanks again Lia for the help) I managed to get one side to bead at 90psi but the other side just wouldn't. I eventually took it to a fitter and it seated after many blasts of 140psi.

@onedangts it's quite mild lately, despite the UK's reputation of being cold and wet. Ok, yes it is raining quite a lot now but it was like 14c earlier which is pretty good for mid February.
I've ran the battery down to 20% in 12 miles before but I was not hanging around on that ride.

@lia I think I had 19% when we got back to the car 18 miles later. It'll be interesting to see how much range I gain when I get new bearings in there.
(I ruined the bearings on it with over-zealous cleaning, for those not in the know)
