Thanks Osmundo, thought of you in the a.m. as you were climbing Mt.
Evans and I was just finishing Independence Pass. Hwy 24 was my least
favorite part, until I got to Leadville. Keep climbing!

AWESOME ride, Mike! That kind of climbing would eat me alive. Superly
hard core!




The elevation might, but I doubt the climbing would. Appreciate the
kind words. I just completed another record type ride with over 10,000'
feet of climbing, back to back epic BIG climbs. I guess that is what I
like to do. Cheers.

wow this thread has got me wanting to find an excuse to ride a century-
if only to be in there with all those other amazing riders on the list.
The longest ride i have done so far has been a 70 mile one- although
this was with a pack (about 25kgs), and was 25 days (1600km) into a
self supported tour. The 10 hr benchmark is something to work towards
as well. I might pull out the maps later and see what might be a good
route near Canberra.

That's a hell of an effort, Mark. Didn't you get really saddle sore? I
don't think the 100mi will be a prob. for you. I myself, might give it
a go in a few weeks.

Mike, that mountain picture is beautiful.

I've come close to a metric century, it was around 90km, however I've
never set out to do a century. Some day, when I find someone to ride it
with, I'll give a imperial one a go.

Denali- yeah a few days i got a bit saddle sore but i had some good
nicks and some chamois butter to help me get through it. I think that
if i was to do it again i would change my saddle. I was using a poor
mans freeride saddle that i had made out of a KH fusion. The problem
with this set up was that the added weight on my back negated the
channel i had cut in the foam. The surrounding foam was just too soft
and didn't give the relief i would normally get when riding without a
pack. I've seem some people on the forums experimenting with a denser
foam on the top of their saddles. I would probably give this a go if i
was to do it again.

I rode 100 miles yesterday on my ungeared Nimbus 36 in the Seagull
Century in Maryland. There were 6,400 bikes registered for the event.
I was the only unicyclist. The roads were great and it was a lot of
fun. I finished in 11 hours with a total riding time of 7:36 hours.
For the first 17 miles my average speed was 15.0 mph. Age 49 and 11
months. Oldest?

Steveyo - I met a bike rider who says he used to play a lot of ultimate
with you. Sorry I forget his name.
