One wheel madness. Thanks to the ride organizers for all their support.
At the NYC Uni Fest, trying an Oregon for the first time. Thanks Turk, was fun!
Is that how they spell Kris down there? At least they got his last name right. That’s usually the part people mess up.
bwrightback, before you chuck the bars for trail riding, have you experimented with putting the grips in a flatter position? I find it gives more leverage when climbing/pulling up, and the flatter position eliminates most of the fear of injury when going “over the falls”.
An Oregon with what looks like a slick tyre? 
Squishy suspension for the road! 
No I haven’t tried that on trails but I had it at a more horizontal position on road and I couldn’t reach the handlebars as efficiently. But I also had the length out as far as possible, so maybe I’ll try it out! Thanks!
Surly Black Floyd.
Ahh yeah, I’ve seen those before come to think of it!
I dunno why, but I reckon a 29+ version of that would be awesome.
Hike, Bike, & Paddle
Our semi-annual Hike, Bike, & Paddle draws 10,000 cyclists. My geared 36er (not in picture) hears a “Quote of the day” every mile. My favorite today was another middle aged guy on a muddy Mountain Bike who had “just moved from Colorado” and “kept seeing a guy on a unicycle riding all the big assent events” to which I replied “Oh, you mean AspenMike”.
Like this one?
Small unicycling world, love it and everyone in it! Thanks for thinking of me David Hood. 10,000 cyclists wow, thats about 4,000 more people than live in Aspen 
Whoahh, I was seeing his pic for the first time.. I was thinking, ..this thirty somethin’ year old guy has a pretty good physique, not bad.
Then I scroll over to see. Wow, 49!
I guess 50’s is now the new 30’s.
I can mention plenty of others here too.. And not to forget to mention UniBri, she looks as if she just barely turned 20.
Also, myself too, I have often been mistaken 10 or 15 years younger.
So, that being said and all, leads me to this question to be pondered with…
Which came first?
Are we saddling up on a machine that’s really a fountain of youth in halting the aging process, or maybe, even darefully saying, reversing the aging process??
Or, simply,
Young spirited, youthful minded people have a great tendency to be magnetically drawn onto this hobby, And that physical youthfulness was already present to begin with in the first place?
Something to ponder about… 
other option: we would like to think we are younger than we really are … and other people tend to believe this blatant lie
I am but one datapoint, but my experience suggests #1. I only learned to ride 20 months or so ago, and felt much older then than I do now. Any exercise might have accomplished that, but Unicycling is the first exercise of this intensity that I have found enjoyable, much less enough so to keep me doing it. I was not an athlete before this. Of course, the unique attributes (feeling of riding, etc.) of unicycling can only help. The improvements in balance, coordination, and motor control which result from learning to ride and getting good at it certainly help with feeling less old. Athletes can add physical condition to that list. At least less old than when I was mostly sedentary.
I wasn’t completely sedentary; I do (and did) mow my very hilly and otherwise irregular yard with a walk-behind mower, and that is significant exercise. It’s not fun, though, and only happens as the lawn needs it; weekly at the worst. And the juggling. I had been juggling for a few years before unicycling. Hours per day; hardcore enough to lose a bunch of weight. Maybe that’s sort of like a “gateway” fountain of youth. It didn’t get me all the way here, though. That took a wheel.
Not that option #1 must be exclusive with option #2. The latter just doesn’t seem to apply in my particular case.
Not very latest ride, but it took me one week to prepare a write-up. Last weekend I was in Slovakia on MTB marathon in Nova Dubnica. This time I skipped Muni competition which is classified Open Slovak Muni Championship and decided to take Basic bike route instead. 42km is better than 13km anyway 
I had a good ride appreciated by both me and bikers around and I’ve finished in just under 4 hours placed 191st out of 223 finishers.

VERY cool! I realy like the blog post and the great write-up. Must have been an amazing day! Congrats on your finish time. 
+1^^ Vookash always makes us look good! Way to go!
Vookash, I just have to tell you that I love your pictures. When I am out riding and things are not going well, I always tell myself, “C’mon! Get it together! Ride like Vookash. Sit up and smile!”
It never fails to make me ride better and have more fun. Keep the pics coming! 
Thanks for all comments. I’m proud to be unicyclist and I try to smile while riding even if sometimes it is grimace of effort when I’m pushing hard.

We took this one when we were checking out the route for the “Unicycle into the Skye” tour next June
