Acturbo Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Join us this Saturday September 16th for our first trip around the Baltimore area. So far it is myself and @edwin_rm. Looking for additional folks to join. We will be meeting at the Memorial to Armistead in Federal Hill Park at 11am(at inner harbor). We will explore the inner harbor and several of the attractions and trails in the area. There are plenty of spots to charge and eat/drink on our journey. All experience levels and wheels are invited. Weather permitting @kour @dmethvin @RichieV @radial @J.T. @LorenW @CaptainKBLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Unfortunately, I have plans to attend another event, otherwise I'd totally be down for it. My schedule typically requires a lot of lead time. Hopefully, you've seen the ride I'm planning for next month in DC (we've already got 9 people signed up)!

I'm down to one currently or I would let you. ACM is being taken apart tonight for an issue and MSuper is the only one left. Just sold my other 2.

dmethvin Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Sorry, I'll be at a beer festival that day. Beer and EUCs my two favorite things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We normally stop and eat and drink and charge etc once or twice along the way. I have fast chargers for both 67 and 84V wheels so if we can find you a wheel we can get you charged up quick. Our last 2 trips were 47 miles and 51 miles............................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's 67V I'll bring the fast charger. I'll have the 84V fast charger regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainKBLS Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I hope you guys had a great time! I had family duties as usual. We were in DC hitting volleyball around. I rode my ACM16 to check the Trump rally. It was a little scary with all the police around. You usually don't see that many except in NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a good time, trip summary below: Edwin made us wait an additional 45 minutes cause he showed up late . Took the promenade by the water all the way until we could take it no longer. Stopped in the park to see the Statue and the view. Got lost. Found our way to Fort Mchenry, got stopped by a ranger who said electric vehicles are not allowed, tried to ride out and got stopped by a second ranger so we walked out. All this despite there not being a single sign anywhere stating that electric or any type of vehicle is not allowed. Left Fort McHenry and searched for the Gwynn Falls trail. Enroute to Gwynn Falls Trail went over the scariest bridge in the world but we all survived. Found Gwynn Falls trail, then lost Gwynn falls trail. Took a short trip through the ghetto, fortunately no one was shot . Continued riding aimlessly through the city until joftley took a tumble, then decided to find our way back to Gwnn Falls Trail. Found the trail again only to find out the trail was closed due to construction after travelling some distance. We climbed the fence and got the unicycles over and continued on the trail. Hit the unpaved part of the trail with a 200 foot cliff off to the left which was pretty sweet. Took Gwynn falls trail back to Jones trail. Ran into downhill skateboarders that insisted we race them so we did. Back on to Jones trail and back down to inner harbor where joftley turned in for the night. Rode through the city, passed Camden yards and M&T stadium. Rode down promenade a second time to the end then took the road back to the parking garage, grabbed a beer and went home. Not sure exactly how long the trip was, did not track it this trip but I would estimate in the 50-60 mile range. I couldn't remember exactly where it happened but we also did stop at a target/starbucks for a quick bite and a half hour or so worth of recharge. Thanks guys for coming along. Those who didn't can hopefully come next trip........................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
