Last Sunday Sept 11, a dozen unicyclists met in San Francisco at 8am and
set out to ride a slightly shortened version of the famous '49 Mile
Scenic Drive.' (http://www.bikediablo.com/49mile_history.html) The ride
is Gary Kanuch's brainchild and annual birthday celebration as it is
done on the weekend closest to his birthday.
I posted details about the route 'two years ago'
(http://tinyurl.com/66jg5) although we've lengthened it a little at the
start and finish so it is now about 41 miles. This amazing ride took us
to so many interesting and little-known parts of San Francisco, as well
as many of the famous tourist spots. Unicycle is a great way to see the
sights, but it takes a while. In fact, we left my house at 6:45am and
returned about 10:45pm - now that's a great day.
Stats according to my 'GPS/Heart Rate/Elevation machine'
(http://tinyurl.com/8qhsn):
Distance 41.5 miles
Climbing 4000' (actually probably more like 3000'😉
Time 10 hours, 8:45 plus lunch, 5:30 actual riding
We have two photo galleries up on Smugmug:
'Mine with photos from Geoff, Gary, Mark and myself'
(http://nhoover.smugmug.com/gallery/808930)
'Gary's with the best of his photos'
(http://gkanuch.smugmug.com/gallery/813872)
Riding with 12 people was great - we'll probably have more next year.
