johnfoss (or anyone else)-want to make a side bet for like a beer or something, if a nongeared or geared team will win? I’ll bet for the team with a geared uni. Any takers for a non-geared team? Let me know if you’re interested! 
Here’s a few more categories that might be interesting…
Finishing Team with least amount of combined years riding
Fastest Team with less than 10 years combined experience
- are there any? Rolandisimo & have 6 yrs combined, not sure how long Vince has been riding
Finishing Team with Most Lobsters Consumed
Friendliest Finishing Team - (in ultimate we say “the team with the best ‘spirit of the game’”)
Most Pimped-out Unicycle
Oldest Individual Finisher
Youngest Individual Finisher
I’m thinking this will be my team, The North American Youth. Riders ages are 16, 16, and 20, with our support person being 20. It gives us a grand combined total of 72. 
How about some more fun categories:
Worst Crash
Least Reliable Unicycle
Most Woefully Unprepared Team
Biggest Team Chemistry Meltdown
Least Able To Follow Directions
La Lanterne Rouge–the last-place finishing team
Now you’re getting into the spirit of my thread idea!
Eeek, I hope no one wins this.
Like, first non-flat-tire breakdown, or maybe most mechanicals on one cycle.
“You mean you trained for this race?!?”
I hope no one wins this, either.
“Oh we were supposed to bring that GPS thingy with us?!?”
Even last place in this race is something to be proud of.
There will be some spectacular crashes. A criterium with a whole bunch of short-crank Cokers and geared unicycles, and 100 riders who’ve never ridden in that format before? I may bring my MUni armor for that one.
The “Lanterne Rouge” is a quasi-official award of the Tour de France; as with RTL, finishing the TDF in last place is, itself, an accomplishment. There was a story that a rider had stopped under a bridge abutment to attempt to fall into last place on the last day of the tour; unfortunately for him, his competitor for last place was doing the same thing, on the other side of the same bridge.
Good idea.
Best / worst sunburn / suntan.
Best “helmet hair”.
Most vomit.
We should definitely keep a pictorial record of this one. I propose a end-of-day/pre-shower picture of each rider. It would be hilarious!
uniproshop sponsors awards
Hey guys,
Good news! uniproshop has decided to sponsor some special awards! This means that we will be handing out award certificates and a prize to a bunch of different categories. Don’t expect a huge prize because this is mainly for fun and to recognize some of the teams that might not have received anything. Actually most of the prizes will be silly, see below for examples. I’ve listed most of the awards we are considering although we might take out some of them or add new ones so these aren’t official. Feel free to let me know if you think I should add or take away any or if you have an idea for a small gift I could give, especially the ones with question marks!
Team Awards
-Fastest Ungeared Team (copies of defect?)

oldest rider(s)-Geritol
I like this idea Jamey, it seems like a fun way to give other teams a chance for glory.
Dang! Now I really should have been in this!
Finally an award we know we can compete for! Totally Doable!
…and a gerontological study! John, American Mojo looks to be tied with you Centurions at 135 years combined age of riders! 
D@mn, you guys are ancient! 
Ancienter. The Centurions are 139, with 101 years of unicycling. That’s just counting the three riders of course.
Is Geritol still on the market?
So uniproshop did indeed hand out some special awards and prizes during the awards ceremony on Saturday. Sorry it took so long to post the results but I’ve been busy catching up with everything over the last week or so.

and a special thank you to HEATHER LEBLANC, ANNE WEDLER, EDWARD WEDLER, ALISON ?, NATHAN HOOVER & ANDY COTTER. In all reality all of these people should have received an award and signed picture frame. Thanks again to everyone for making this such a huge success!
Can someone help me out with Marks last name and address? I have to send him his picture frame and do not have his address so if you have it or his email I would very much appreciate it.
Till next time…
Cheers,
