Depends on what you mean with "the future events". There are several Websites with upcoming Unicycle Events all over the world. But i think you mean German or Saxon events. Well all websites are in german language.
First there is the page of german unicycling federation: www.einradverband.de/index.php?article_id=614, its for whole germany as well es the german cycling federation at hwww.einrad-bdr.de/?page=termine. Another private page is at einradfahren.de/index.php?module=mod_events&action=index&menu_id=78. www.einradtag.de/node/12 lists events of Saxony.
Here at unicyclist.com we have two threads, the first Terminsammlung 2014 is for whole germany, the second Anstehende Termine Sachsen is only for Saxony.
Did I answer your question with that?

I forgot to say, that it's the blue track on the provided map.

Hi Eric

Unfortunatelly at the first 2 weeks of August UNICON 17 takes place, so all good riders are in Canada that time.
Anyway, still some sort of riders remain in Poland so I hope the event will be good.

Last year I organized "XC Munirace pod Smrkem" close to your place (Swieradow Zdroj / Nove Mesto pod Smrkem), was very nice. Hope I will manage to make the race this year again, but in autumn. Check the website: munirace.com

See you in Swieradow Zdroj.

I know about the time problem with UNICON 17. It's a pitty. But EBM has taken place at the first weekend of august for over 20 years now, so no chance to change that. I really wantet to make it into this race, so I hat to accept this. Now I'm hoping on all who can't affort to fly to canada. If it's a good race this year, it might even be better next year with all the good riders. For now I'm glad that I got the chance to make this Muni XC race at this big event and hope that it is good enough to convince them that it will be part of the race weekend for alle the following years ...

Last year I had no time for Munirace pod Smrkem. But I heard the reports of other participants. It must have been great. I really want to join this year!

There are only two weeks remaining for registration without supplement fee. So hurry up, if you want to join this event
