Seattle To Portland On A Unicycle (July 2009)
I did the STP in 2005, shortly after my 40th birthday. Bungeejoe did it
in 2007 (shortly before his 50th birthday?), and various other people

Starting up-hill is very challenging, with the difficulty increasing
swiftly with the steepness of the hill. If you can't mount uphill then
turn around, mount down-hill, and do a quick u-turn. It's...
