How long between stops?
I was just curious how far/ long people out there went while riding between a brake on easy to moderate ground? I rode in Critical Mass Pittsburgh last week and went the 12-13 mile distance (bit under 2 hrs) (24" wheel gazz tire) non stop it was difficult but the Viscount seat made it feel real nice So how long/ far do you go between breaks?!? -- Checkernuts - Me Fail English?

How long between stops?
Time is perhaps the indicator rather than distance, oh iron-crotched one. Your two hours in a Viscount saddle is an impressive feat, indeed. I can go the first hour non-stop if I have to but after that I stop more frequently. We went on a 22 mile ride Saturday and stopped constantly but it wasn't a race against time or each other. I am wearing a MUni Militia T-Shirt as I type this, by the way. Thanks again for your artistic contribution to the unicycling community. When I wear this shirt I am invincible. -- harper - Old dog, no tricks -Greg Harper B L U E S H I F T "I managed to get my missus riding a couple of yards before she got pregnant with Jenny, but she hasn't tried riding since.

I don't know how much further I could go, but I plan to find out one day. Daniel -- daino149 - How's it going, Texas?

My personal best is a shade over 20 miles (20.05? 32km) in one go, which took about 1 hour 55. That was on a Coker, Viscount seat, plus handle. A typical 'distance ride' starts with approximately an hour without breaks. After that, breaks get closer and closer together as the day progresss and my crotch deteriorates. The Viscount and Miyata seem pretty similar for these long stints in the saddle. -- Mikefule - Roland Hope School of Unicycling The long distance Fule on his farcycle ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mikefule's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/879 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27527 |

How long between stops?
So how long/ far do you go between breaks?!? I can go up to two hours before the first break, based on a couple of rides, but my preference is probably to stop more often. After the first long non-stop period, the breaks are much more frequent. -Jeff -- rubic - Unstable Coker Addict It's never to late to have a happy childhood. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rubic's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3956 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27527 |

How long between stops?
Wearing cycling shorts (and a MUni militia shirt) generally doubles the time I can go without stopping, and makes it much nicer. I've found that to stop the circulation problem, if I ride one-foot for a while or put all my weight on my KH seat hadle with my arms and lift myself out of the saddle for a few minutes, I can ride much longer without stopping. I'd give you actual numbers, but my breaks generally come with UPD's. -- paco - Creator of the "BUni" If you attempt to fail, and succeed, which one did you really do? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ paco's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3715 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27527 |
