Weather:
San Diego can be cool and foggy in the mornings, but it quickly warms up. It can also get hot in the afternoons.

ALL RIDERS MUST BRING:

Helmet. They will be required if you want to participate in any competition event(s), along with knee protection and gloves or wristguards. For the rides, this gear, at a minimum, is highly recommended.
Water/sports drink. For the Friday and Sunday rides I recommend a hydration pack with water, plus a bottle of sports drink. All of our 2008 trails are very remote, so you've got to bring everything you need.
Food. Your body will need lots of calories for all the rides. On Saturday, there will not be any stores for a lunch stop, so be sure to pack a good lunch with you!
Money. The Friday and Saturday dinners are $11.00 per meal and are NOT included in the registration fee. The previously posted information that the Saturday dinner was included was a dated misposting. If you've registered, you've seen where you could pre-pay for both dinners. On Friday and Saturday night, beer/alcohol must be purchased separately. You are responsible for all other meals. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
Warm clothes/layers. It can sometimes get cool in San Diego.
If you are under 18, you MUST have a parent or guardian present for the competition!

Useful items that you should bring:

Unicycle(s). A good 24" muni will be great for most trails, although many people can keep up with a 20" trials uni. A trials uni would be useful for the competition as well.
Tools, a patch kit or spare tube, and a small pump if you have them.
Sunscreen.
Cell phone (optional). In addition, add in Miles' phone number in case you have a question or are lost: 619.300.5423.
Fun stuff! Bring anything cool that you want to share with people.

What to Wear:
It can get cool in the evenings, but the temperature in San Diego is generally pretty moderate.

Getting There:
Just use Google Maps to find San Diego. The individual rides will have directions for each of them.
