    That's very kind of you. The Centurions have 101 years of riding
    experience between the three of us. We're not slow either. Our oldest
    member, Dave White, has won the 10k race at NAUCC (Memphis, 2006) He
    beat everybody, including Irene! David Stone is famous, among other
    things, for Coker commuting in New York City (eating sushi while
    talking on the cell phone while riding). I'm a past world champion of
    racing, but those were all short races. Until Unicon XIII, the longest
    unicycle race I'd been in was 9 miles (which I won the first time, and
    tied with Andy Cotter and Dustin Kelm the second time). Who knows how
    we'll do? 🙂

    Argh, I forgot about you. Yes, I think I'd rate you guys in the top 10
    definitely. I knew I'd heard of Dave White before, now I remember he
    won the 10km race beating lot's of fast riders. And David I know has
    posted some very fast cruising speeds before on his Schlumpf.

    Personal Rollercoaster might be interesting to watch too....I only know
    of Steve through his hillclimbing feats. Hopefully there'll be a few
    big ones for you!

    As for Team NZUNI....we are aiming for a 25km/hr avg speed, which is I
    think what the top teams will be aiming for. So yes, we're aiming to
    be somewhere up there 😎

    We have Tony Melton (#5 at Unicon 13 Marathon, and veteran of many
    Unitours and bike races), and Will Sklenars. Will is a much stronger
    rider then me, and probably faster too. He'll be one to hang on to (if
    you can) on the climbs.

    Nuff said.

    Well, at last we get mentioned in this thread! 😉

    Roland (who I taught to ride) pushed me to faster times last year on
    Whiteface Mtn and Mt. Equinox, where we beat about a third of the
    bicyclists. With the competition from him, I crushed both my old
    records, but -he beat me- (barely) in both. I'm just glad to have him
    on my team at RTL.

    Yeah - the bookies are laying you in at 1:3 odds to win the whole
    enchilada, and only paying out 3:5 for a top three finish.

  3. Remember to rank your teams 1, 2 and 3.

    I'll do a tally at the end and we'll work out the odds.

    So far Team Smile seems to be the odds-on favourite

  4. I'm thinking of putting in a bet for the team that buys me the best and
    tastiest beer.. or the best wine.

    *Just in case it wasn't clear, I WAS JOKING!!!
    I really have no idea who will win and due to my position with RTL, I
    will not make any guesses.
