  1. Well, as my senior project at school is long
    distance/touring/whatever-you-really-wish-to-call-it unicycling (this
    really took some persuasion, too), i decided today would be a good day
    to get off my bum and ride for a while. A week ago when i rode i
    managed to fall on every little hill i came upon and the one big hill i
    had never defeated. It was just a bad day. Well today not only did i
    not fall on any hills, but i even made it to the top of that one hill
    and stayed on when i got to the top (a little problem of mine).
    Anyways, that was 3 miles. But my mentor told me that everything after
    that was flat, so i decided to keep riding. I rode until the end,
    which was an abrupt stop. Im not sure of the milage yet, but whatever
    it is i rode it the way back, too. The only reason im posting this is
    because i feel great. I just really feel good with myself.
    Also, i bought the t7 handle a while back. We had to make some major
    adjustments since i have my seat all the way down, but it didnt help at
    all. As a matter of fact, it seemed to make it worse. So i took it
    off last night and i suppose i'll put it on my 29 inch whenever I get
    it. But that could have something to do with me being so small: I'm
    only 5'1" and about 110 lbs, so handling "the beast" can be somewhat
    tricky. I havnt tried freemounting it yet since i have a hard time
    just using a railing.
    Anyways, ill check back with my mentor to find out how far i really
    went.
    🙂

  2. Hey, thats awesome. I think the more practice I think it will be come
    easier to control. There is also some mental in long distance
    unicycling. Don't think about how tired you are getting but think about
    something totally different. Good Luck!😄

  8. well since this is all part of my senior project for school, i had to
    pick something i had little or no experience in. But the contract they
    drew up for me consists of two unsanctioned events and one sanctioned
    (a bike race or something). But they will not let me get away with
    much less than 50 miles for the big events. So i figure 16 miles was a
    good start and I am going to try to do it again tomorrow morning.
    We'll see how it goes.
