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? ;)

Floatwheel in the "wild". I think I topped 26mph that day.

Tonight I went for another ride along the river Tyne, but travelling the opposite direction.

Trouble train running late

Thought it was over? Nah. I had to time to get a photo with an iconic statue of north east England...

...before stopping for another group ride on the way home. :D

The eagle eyed among you will spot the odd one out. ;)

Nice carvy new tarmac. So smoooooth
dusts off shoulders

I bought a secondhand adv pro on Friday and have been having a bit of fun with it this weekend.
Compared to my XR the low down acceleration is staggering, it just goes. I've nosedived the XR a couple of times trying to accelerate too hard, and after this I don't think I can go back to it. I'm not a small guy and always thought I was probably pushing the limits of it.
25mph is easily achievable on flat paving and hills aren't a thing I even slow down much for now. It climbs 6"/150mm near-vertical changes of surface with the slightest de-weight from me. I rode 9 miles to 40% of charge and I was not taking it slowly.
The only downside is the weight. You don't feel it at all riding it and the board is still quite carvey, but if you have to lift it over a fence or something you will be glad it has two handles.
I even love the weird transformer noises it makes at low speed.

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.

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

I look stupid (I don't care)

@notsure as per my previous post, the town of Toe-chester has some new roads under construction. Weekends and evenings give miles of clean (mostly) wide open tarmac with only the occasional pedestrian and cyclist. It won't be this way forever so I need to make the best of it.

I drove over an hour to meet up with fellow OW, more were meant to come but the weather forecast was a gamble. All being well I have another ride with a friend to look forward to tomorrow, and a group ride on Sunday. Life is good right now. :)
