Epic 100 mile Uni-Century!

Hello all, and happy 4th!

On Sunday, July 11th, ("7/11") I will doing my first ever 100 mile unicycle ride, to help benefit the American Cancer Society. I hope you will join me in making a donation to this very worthy cause. Please click here for details.

I’ll be riding my 36″ touring unicycle, and this epic ride, which will kicks off at about 5:30am, will be the equivalent distance of riding my unicycle from Redondo beach to Santa Barbara! Estimated ride time with breaks included: 11-12 hours.

Since I have no gears and can never coast, I will be pedaling continuously for at least 10 hours, and 100 miles translates to pedaling a staggering 56,000 wheel revolutions!

I just got back from my first Uni-Century adventure. 104 miles! This was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had! I'm a bit tired and there's soooo much to say about it. I'll have a full writeup *and* video in the next couple days!
