While the exact route is still being decided, it’s time to get serious about Ride The Lobster. Get your teams together, get your equipment together, get your qualifying rides done, and start getting into shape.
The stages will average 200K (except the Time Trial), and will get progressively more difficult as the race progresses, and the course takes us further north.
A week and a half ago, Nathan Hoover, Andy Cotter, Irene Genelin, Darren Bedford, and myself, Max DeMilner, were invited to Nova Scotia to get soem details work out, and get a sense for the terrain from a unicyclist’s perspective. We also attended promotional events in many of the towns stages will begin or end.
Max, it was a hoot meeting you at the Gaelic University last weekend. Hardto believe so far from central Maine We would meet the “Famous Uni-Max!”
Good luck on the race promos.

We’re workking on an update with a trip summary and other information - to be sent out this week. It was a great trip and the race is going to be incredible!
Hah…I LOVE those hats! Getting one of those might just be the ticket I need to convince my wife to let me go ride this thing after taking half of March off to ride Uninam.
Just explain why RTL is so special. It’s the longest, most grueling unicycle race in HISTORY. There’s no certainly that this will ever happen again. You can’t miss it.
Or you could come up with some crack about having a couple mistresses in the neighborhood, so it would be better for her if you were in Nova Scotia for a week.
If we make an analogy between RTL and the film Gumball Rally, I’ll be one of the old guys in the Mercedes. My question is this: who’s going to play the role of those damn fake cops?
