Wow thats quite the write up, it looked like alot of fun. Certainly impressive that you did it without knowing anything about the equipment you were going to be using too.
Hey that all sounds very good for me 🙂 We fight hard to bring the 24"KH to Matej before the race starts. Some words to the sponsoring of Matej: He is a part of "*team unicycle.tv*". This team is powerd by 'unicycle.tv' (http://www.unicycle.tv) and 'monocikl.com' (http://www.monocikl.com) (Qu-ax and KH Croatia) and becomes also an official part of the "grassroots teams" of 'KH' (http://www.krisholm.com). All riders of the team ride on 'KH' (http://www.krisholm.com) and 'QU-AX' (http://www.qu-ax.com) unicycles There will be more info about *team unicycle.tv *soon here in the forum.
We (the sponsors) would like to say thanks to Matej that he do the race even if he only could pick up the Uni a half day before it starts.
Congratulation to your successful ride, even if it wasn't an official part of the race. We will provide you a set of breaks soon 🙂
Wow! Congratulations - that looks like a fun course. That's great that you made the news too. I looked it up on the map and the race was somewhat close to where we'll be riding next June on our way from Ljubljana to Zadar.
I assume unicycles are rare in Croatia? I read a recent post about going unicycling in Zagreb and the guys said they met "the only unicyclist in Croatia" or something like that.
I figured it was you. I am from California and am planning a unicycle tour that will start in Ljubljana. We are working on the website now and will announce it here soon when it's ready. We have the tour members already (11 unicyclists, 2 bike support, 1 car support). We're still working on route details right now but the plan is to cross from Zadar to Ancona, Italy. Basically the tour is modelled after these:
Sounds great to make a tour through Croatia. For sure, Matej can give you some very useful tips. Maybe I'm also in Croatia next summer (I'm there several times of the year 🙂 ) and I would also love to meet you while your trip. When you plan your route, take care that you don't cross the Croatian /Slovenian border so much. I hate to cross it, its mostly a big trouble. Slovenian like to protect the European community to hard 🙂 Croatia is still outside and maybe it's better as it is for them. How ever, it's great riding there and great people. It's the favorite place in the world for me and I see a lot nice places while the last 30 years I think.
