  1. I made the paper again -this time in my own home town. The picture is
    not on the web link, but was taken by John Childs at CalMuni 2003 during
    the Downieville ride. Thanks again, JC -if you haven't been already, you
    are now a published photographer.

    The cool thing is, I've been on the phone with people who read the
    write-up. A guy (62yrs old now) invited me out over Thanksgiving to see
    his collection of unicycles -he used to have a club in this same area. A
    12yr old kid who lives a few miles away has selected KH as his hero, and
    is waiting for his muni to arrive any day. He will be riding with me and
    my "club" soon.

    I am, again, enjoying my five seconds of fame.

  2. It must have been 'this photo' (http://tinyurl.com/6wuzg). I apologize
    for you not being in sharp focus. The shutter speed must have been a
    bit slow.

    That 12 year old kid should pick you as his hero. That would be far
    more convenient for him. Does he know that the famous Mr. Jerry Gruss
    has ridden trails that Kris Holm hasn't?

  3. Good job Jerry! That is cool that you got calls about it. All this
    time you have been trying to find other riders in Houston, maybe this
    will do it.

  4. Well Jerry, looks as though you're making quite a name for yourself🙂
    You're going to have to make a trip back to S.A. sometime soon. Our
    numbers are growing, we did a Muni ride a few weeks ago with a total of
    6 riders from right here in town!!!!!

  5. My mom saw that article in the paper and saved it out for me. I'll see
    it in print when I head back for Thanksgiving.

    Good going man!🙂

  6. that is really cool. ive never been in the paper, but i was questioned
    on the radio about it once when i called in. I told them i ride
    unicycles, and they asked if they played the song i wanted, if they
    could have a ride on the handlebars. Kind of a dumb joke but whatever.

    Five seconds at a time is a great way to use it. That gives you 300
    times before you use up your fifteen minutes! 🙂

    Good coverage!

    You know, John saves his fame on the Fame Bank, who pay interest over
    saved / non-used fame.

  9. My brother and his family live in Houston. Next time I visit, we will
    have to go for a ride. He lives along a levy. On the other side there
    is a velodrome at one of the many public parks. Not sure of the name of
    the park. I just remember the all the great running/riding trail in the
    area. Someday, Atlanta will have those great riding locations as well.
