I can't remember the guy's name now, but there's a unicyclist that rides on the North Shore and does a lot of the obstacles that the bicyclists do. He even rides things like the teeter-totters and some of the steep downhills. I've got a video of him in action and it's amazing what he can do. Smokey |

Here's a nutter who climbed Mont Ventoux 3 times in one day on his unicycle: http://home.scarlet.be/~ping9913/index/MontVentoux.jpg -- E. Dronkert |

Riding the unicycle back down would be even more impressive than riding it up. |

That's exactly what I was thinking. I believe that Eddy Matzger, the inline skater, rode up and down the Ventoux on his race skates (no brakes). As you point out, he said that the descent was harder than the ascent. He first got fit on his skates by regularly going up the Berkeley hills (about 2000ft of climbing) with the UC Berkeley women's cycling team, which was fairly strong at the time, about 1990. -ilan |
