Bike-a-thon today, crashed by Unis!
My girls and I participated in a St. Jude's Bike-a-thon today. Great fun was had by all, but we were the STARS of the event. My 11, 8 and 5 year old daughters, as well as myself, did the event on our unicycles. This event only requires you to ride a mile. So, after the short ride, the girls and I had tons of fun riding our unicycles around the starting point. Several folks tried to ride my Muni. My brother could ride 50 feet or so, about 25 years ago. After helping him mount, he actually rode for 5 or 6 feet. I loved seeing him ride. Two different parents asked me where they could get their child a unicycle. I wonder if John will send me a "Thank You for the Referral" note. Personally, I had a great time today. I was riding off 10" drops, which amazed everyone. (Not much for most of you guy and gals, but these people loved it) Then I side hopped for 20 feet up a hill (BTW, this is my first side hopping success). It was only a mild hill, I could have easily ridden up, but I was successful nevertheless. I then rode up and down some very steep grassy banks. These Muni's really are great. Lastly, I was getting the best height I have ever attained while hopping. Several times I was at least 10 or 12 inches off the ground. Yippeee, watch our Kris, here I come . Not to change to subject, but I have lost 22 pounds (hopefully of fat) in the last 29 days, so that might be helping my jumping height a little bit too! Now all I need is a digital camera, so I can share some pics of my girls and I riding. Dear Santa... --chirokid-- -- chirokid "That wascally wabbit wan off with a wobble of one wheelers" E.

That is absolutely awesome, and coincidental. As it turns out, I also rode in a bike ride yesterday (the same day). I'm just too tired to write about it. You'll hear about my ride in an upcoming post. Congratulations on your ride! Daniel -- daino149 - How's it going, Texas?
