*sigh*

I was hoping to see the Hour Record broken on a fixed wheel unicycle.
Or at least two separate records...fixed and geared.

Looks like the next few attempts will be on geared unis, which should
quite easily beat that record. My 29" Schlumpf get's around the course
I used for the 24hr/hour record about 5% faster than the Coker/102's
when I timed it a couple of years ago.

Time for me to dust the cobwebs off my Schlumpf I guess
