carl hasn’t repsponded about taking on the two teams he has in the past.
the registration goes public at 6pm tonight…
if there appears to be interest in forming 2 5 man teams, i will be able to put in for two teams, as it stands now, there is only one 5 person unicycle team ented (with spots still ‘unclaimed’ in it)
i have to put a $150 deposit down for each time
it’s Victoria weekend at teh end of may very close to Toronto.
Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous 24 Hour 5 person relay…
I have registerred 2 positions for this event. The cost for this event is $160CDN. (each) This fee gets you a manditory Ontario racing licence (only used for the event) weekend camping in a log cabin, showers, and 3 cooked meals designed for racing athletes (hi carbs, hi deliciousness) as well as a goody bag (prizes in the past have been Tshirts and hats, all very cool)
As Nathan Hoover (who has done 24’s all around the world) said 2 years ago, ‘if I only do one next yera it will be this one!’ (and he was there)
(you need to have a light…if you want to ride at night)
Team One:
Brian MacKenzie
Tim Morin
…
…
…
Un-named other uni team:
Carl Hoyer (probably)
…
…
…
…
Please reply if you are interested, but only $160cdn will officially hold your spot.
this race is suitable for 24" - 36" unicycles (36rs being on the ‘just because I can’ end of the spectrum!
I hope I still have my place in that race, last year’s was neat!
Brian, please confirm me so I can get rid of 160 bucks.
And, there’s is no solo munier this year? Have you overcome your madness Brian?
I may be interested in this, if you wouldn’t mind an old ultimate frisbee player on one of the teams. I need to discuss the topic with my boss, er…, wife.
She’s usually agreeable to these things, as she’s into crazy endurance running races.
My resume includes a race up Whiteface in the Adks, and Equinox in VT, and a recent, but short, cyclocross race.
What’d’ya think - an old guy on the team? Me and my KH29 would be psyched.
I’m up for it, if you’ll have me. I’ve still got last year’s number card zip-tied to my spokes. I remember, on one of my laps, smacking my hip on a rock and just lying there…panting…at 2 AM…somewhere in the Canadian wilderness…on my 22nd birthday. Honestly one of the best experiences of my life!
I also remember that if I had finished my last lap just a few minutes sooner, Vince’s last lap would’ve counted. I’ll try harder this time, Vince.
I might be interested in this. I have never done anything like it but I think that my Yuni 29er would be perfect for something like this with the right cranks.
Frank - How long of a drive was it for you last year?
old guys, eh? i suppose we can have some old guys…
29rs seem to be the ideal machine for this, however 24rs are fine as well. I just took my 36 2 years ago on this ‘not really a coker’ track to see if I could. I could. It’s what I will be using this time…although with an airfoil this time around.
The teams were quite stacked the last few times, this time we can shuffle people around based on ability when we get there, and try to match up the teams as evenly as possible, and actually make it a real race for the two teams
