Ride For Heart 2011 Toronto
Just finished the Ride For Heart on Sunday June 05th. I chose the 75km route and was finished in 4.5hrs This was my second year riding the 75k and it was an awesome time. They shut down two major highways in Toronto for the ride, so it is worth it, I got huge amounts of respect and encouragement from all the other cyclists when the saw me. Most could not believe i was running 75km.
-Ben
Hey Ben - I believed it was you “Guy on unicycle” in videos at youtube. I like downhill ride part and you look so calm. Awesome! 
Here is other one of you “Unicycle Guy going uphill”
Oh Man! So cool, I’ve never found any videos of myself on YouTube after years of random people filming me. Thanks for posting those. In the second video I’m talking to that guy about penny farthings.
I was really calm and feeling good the whole ride, I’m loving my 100mm cranks.
Chicopee Trails
I need to take more pictures on my rides, but here’s one from the Chicopee mountain bike trails off Atlanta Hwy, north of Atlanta. They have about 21 miles of trails that are maintained by SORBA (Southern Off-Road Bicycle Assoc). They do a really great job.
I’m looking forward to getting video and pictures of the trails when my boys get here from Minnesota in about two weeks.
Nice write-up Magnustudios! I really like reading postings that go into more details like yours did. Glad your knee is doing well.
Here is the 36er and 26er that I ride on the trails. The 36er has 140’s that make some of the steep climbs very difficult, and the 26er has 165/137’s that make all the climbs possible.
The peaks are hanging onto snow, while the valleys are greening up nicely. These pics are from a new open space area that just opened up. The single track is primitive, and the views are outstanding. More MUni options in the upper valley.
Wow, aspenmike. That is beautiful! I would love to ride through an area like that 
Stunning scenery as usual
Today I wish I’d taken a camera - only did about 7 miles but it’s very hilly with some great views from the top
It was only a slight extension from my normal run round 2-3 mile route from my house and back which for some reason I’d never done before 
I might go back tomorrow and take a camera with me when I go - one of the interesting things is the dried up river - I might see how far down I can ride it before it gets wet as at the start of the route there’s a bit more water in it…
Big day in the Mountians yesterday, average riding elevation for 6.5 hours was 10,500’, 3,201 meters. Highest elevation achieved, twice, was 12,136’, 3670 meters.
Wow. Beautiful. My mental picture of Wales is all clouds and rain.
It’s true - Wales has a lot to offer unicyclists! Roads that go up and down not just level - and off-road tracks that can traverse forests and scale the peaks of mountains. All on a human, enjoyable scale 
That’s many people’s mental picture of the UK who live in hot places in the US.
On Sunday we had a big bike ride (almost 1000 cyclists) in Krakow and we managed to collect 5 unicyclists for the ride. Some more joined us during the event at the end of the ride where we had small trial section set up. Also many people trying and learning. Some with nice results.
My new KH 36
how tall are you?
Well as the 20" is pretty low I presume the 36" is simply new and the seat post has not been cut down yet
