Wahoo! Maggie Rides!!

[image: http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery/al...ide_Big_Smile]

Well, she did it! Maggie did her first real solo ride today. She tried
hard last spring, even e-mailing with JJuggle's Emma for a bit, but then
sort of took a break... We started up again a couple of weeks ago
though and we've been playing at the local park, riding down a crushed
stone path with a nice gentle slope, and today she just kept riding...
about 50 meters (or 50 yards).

She's about to explode, she's so proud. Me, well, yeah, a little...
blushes

Then we rode home about a kilometer (~1/2 mile), hand in hand on our
unis.

Pretty cool - a good day for Dad.

It's a good thing she had a helmet on, otherwise that grin would have
spit her head all the way around.

Congratulations to both of you.

Ok, I am now officially in my normal state of -advanced- confusion.
Don't try to confuse me, it won't make any difference.

Congratulations Tim and Maggie. There is nothing quite like riding a
unicycle with your daughter. I hope you have as much fun riding with
her as I do riding with my girls.

All three of my girls ride. The 8 year old and I rode for a couple of
miles through town today. Just as she was going to sleep tonight, she
said: "Dad, thanks for riding Unicycles with me today!" Life doesn't
get much better than that. --chirokid--

That is so cool.

Launching into the abyss and the first successful ride is huge. The
learning never ends.

Pretty soon she'll be schooling you on the new skills.

Happened to me.
