My mom has it as well (as alex said), and me and him are both planning
on riding in this year's walk.

Does anyone who has any experience with riding unicycles in walks like
these have any tips for keeping a good speed when compared with the
walkers? Should we stay in front of them, follow them up, try to blend
in?

I did the 170km ride 2 years ago (over 2 days), and am doing it again
this summer.

I do not know anyone with it, but statistically speaking, I probably
will

I did the MS-150 ride in Washington state last year (see 'this thread'
(http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41954)), and had
such a positive experience that I've joined the planning committee for
this year's event, and will be riding it again as well.

Last year in the WA ride there were just under 800 bicyclists and one
unicyclist. I'm hoping I can drag a few of the Seattle Area Riders
along this year to help balance the ratio.

I'd highly recommend participating...it's a great way to make an impact
for a very good cause, and get in good distance shape in the process.

next time a walk/ride for charity comes to Ottawa, you bet I will be
unicycling in it 🙂!

Most of all, I recommend using the smallest wheel you can. Even on a
20", riding as slow as walking pace for any length of time is tiring.

I might ride in one if there's one nearby...looks like there might be a
ride in Spokane, WA, so if there is, I'll totally do it.
