Fule that I am, I set off this morning with the intention of riding my 20 inch Nimbus for a short distance in a parade at each end of a 20 mile sponsored walk/Morris dance event (The Gate to Southwell).
Fule that I am, enthusiasm took over and I ended up riding the full 20 miles on a 20 inch Nimbus II, without cycling shorts or other padding, and on a Viscount seat. And the first 6 miles or so were at walking pace with some of the sponsored walkers, before I ‘made the break’ and surged on ahead.
And as if that wasn’t bad enough, can you imagine 20 miles of unicycling with 20 odd bells strapped to each shin? Next year: a bigger wheel, an air seat, and ear plugs…
