  1. So Whiteface Mtn Uphill Bike Race is tomorrow. (There's still time to
    sign up!)

    Unlike the two previous years, when I was the first and only uni in the
    race, this year there are 5 unicycles. A reporter from the Lake Placid
    News interviewed all of us and wrote a pre-race article about our
    little "race within a race".

    What the article doesn't mention is that we're all to be riding on
    different rigs:
    Me: KH29/165s/BA2.0; Mark (VT guy): Semcycle 700c/wskinny road tire;
    Bill (VT):26er w/170s; Eric (RI) 24" Schwinn (I think); and Max
    (Maine) 36er w/170s.

    Here's a 'link ' (http://tinyurl.com/2dbzmg)to the article (posted
    already in the thread "Unicycle Articles"😉

    Here's a pic of the front page:

  4. Steve-

    You look sharp, as usual. Pulverize those newcomers with your blazing
    speed. Good luck to you.

  5. Great article Steve. Sounds like you're all trained up, and I have no
    doubt you'll again beat your previous year's time.

    Good luck to you and all the uni riders. Don't keep us waiting for
    that post-ride write-up. 🙂

  7. Your a legend Steve, I remember I was sitting at a table wearing a
    unicycle T shirt at diner in Pleasant Valley NY. A stranger stopped at
    my table to explain that he saw a guy riding a unicycle at Whiteface!
    He was more than impressed.

    Your guys will show them how it's done tomorrow, good luck!
