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.
