I bought a new seat post for my Pashley - it was too long, so I used a pipe
cutter to reduce it again. This has made a big difference. I can now understand
what you lot mean about weight on the saddle versus weight on the pedals.
I had a couple of weeks where I didn’t get much chance to practice, but I got to
it again on Sunday.
Riding on the drive at the side of our house (concrete, with a slight downhill
slope) I was making good progress
For each 5 attempts 2 I rode 30 feet to the end of the drive and dismounted
2 I rode to the end, but had to lean on the wall at some point 1 I didn’t
even make low earth orbit, if you see what I mean
Big improvement on a month ago where I couldn’t go more than a couple of feet.
I am still planning to go to the British Unicycle Convention next weekend. Does
anybody have a programme of events for Saturday? I figure that Sat would be
better than Sunday for me and my daughter to watch stuff going on. Is anybody
camping nearby?
We went to Towersey Village Festival yesterday - quite local to us. There’s
usually lots of Juggling and Unicycling there - it’s where I learnt to juggle,
and where I first unicycled. I was a bit disappointed that there wasn’t much
juggling or unicycling to watch - but it was VERY wet.
