Today I doubled my longest ride yet. Previously, my longest was 4 miles, with dismounts. Today’s ride was 8.33 miles in 1h and 4min with no dismounts. It was a long ride, but very satisfying. All paved paths and roads today. This ride affirmed that I can ride distance, and I look forward to doing more.

Here is a picture of my unicycle and riding gear in the cycle storage area at work.
I when to work 3 consecutive days this week and washed the gear each night. I dryed the clothes/gear overnight on a clothes rack using a dehumidifier. All ready in the morning.

Great unicycling week.
A picture from my three rides this week (29"-110mm, G29"-138mm, 36"-127mm)
The last ride was quite special as it’s been a while since I rode the big wheel. It such a nice stable feeling and a managed to avg 18,2km/h over a 14km ride which is likely a personal record. I still cannot achieve that on the G29.

After light road iccident, when 36" rider takes knee bruise and wasn’t be able to move more.
The guy can take a taxi to the home, but 36" unicycle doesn’t fit to a taxi. Thanks a lot, to one random EUC rider helped to delive the wheel of unhappy fellow.

Took a 2-hour 15-mile ride along the Schuylkill river today, from Valley Forge down to Conshohocken and back. It’s a late 80s rails-to-trails project that I’ve ridden on a b*ke more times than I can count. And parts of it on my 36" a few times. Today was the first with the 29" guni for this short stretch.
There was too much traffic to safely practice shifting, so I stayed in 1:1 for the ride, cranks at 127. Felt pretty fantastic; this uni just wants to keep going faster and faster! I’ve gotta find a better place to practice shifting while riding though…

Did you buy the QAx in Pa?
No, I got it from @firephreak. No idea the origin.
Got it.
@Zivit, hope you recover soon.
You were lucky to have the EUC rider pushing your unicycle to your home. Solidarity among different kinds of uni riders

Skinny I’ve been practicing with for a while. Slowly overcoming my fear of hopping up to ride before falling and/or hopping down.
Was able to attend the Saturday activities in San Luis Obispo (CPUC Memorial Day Weekend (muni, basketball, cyclocross, trials, street)) with a couple other SoCal riders. Some of the photos https://photos.app.goo.gl/eF8ELHfxTf29pMw68.
I will definitely report any skateboards, rollerblades, or bikes that I see.

Yes, please report them! 
But don‘t forget to practice that (sort of) skinny first. 
There have been some new sculptures installed on the local beach front promenade, and this one makes me chuckle as I think it should be titled ‘Bird Pooing on Someone’s Head’, but maybe that’s just my inner child speaking.

Been keeping with riding the 20in. Practicing on the rumble-bumps as I call them. Actually enjoying it more than I expected.
Also made it nearly 3/4 of the way on my practice skinny. Tried hard for a full continuous ride of it. Soon™.

My 36 has a flat, so I have been commuting on my road 29 to work.
I might give up on the 36. The flat is not patchable, which happens too much. I just can’t afford to keep buying 36-inch inner tubes. Oh well. My days of mega distances are done, and the 29 gets me everywhere I need to go (plus I always have the option of riding my uni²cycle — I think it’s called a bi-cycle — for longer journeys).

Just a short jaunt today on the guni - 5 quick miles on the Pennypack trail, just at the Philly border…
There’s a fun little stretch of wooded trail (I’d hesitate to call it “light muni” when it’s really “thin dirt trail that occasionally has rocks thrown on it”). And nothing says “stay on the trail” quite like poison ivy…

I still don’t have the knack for shifting, but on Saturday (16.5 miles from Valley Forge to Collegeville and back) had a couple attempts that almost felt right (6 or so half-revolutions before totally losing balance again). Today wasn’t as good. I’m chalking it up to my body still recovering from Saturday’s ride…
