    Hi all, my unicycle club will be riding to raise money for the
    Orangewood Children's Foundation who helps out foster kids on November
    17, 2007 ! Anyone is welcome to join us and get sponsored. We would
    love to get more riders as last year the event made the front page of
    the OC register. All the money raised will go to Orangewood Children's
    Foundation. It will be a unicycle-O-thon where the riders will be doing
    as many laps as possible in an hour. We will give prizes to the top
    three finshers! I think we will have a seperate contest for different
    wheel sizes. So come join us at Marco Forster Middle School in San Juan
    Capistrano at 3:30. If you want to sponsor a unicyclist or need more
    info about the event e-mail me at [email hidden]. Also, has anyone else
    ever done a similar ride? I would love any ideas.

    Dang I wish I could have joined you all, but had to be close by for
    three piano deliveries! I heard it was pretty hot there today,
    especially at 2pm!:eek:

    Looks like me & Tyler will be in direct competition for the most laps
    around the 1/4 mile track in one hour. Me on my non-geared 36er with
    114's, and he on his geared uni (34" effective diameter) with 102's.😄
    He may have the edge for speed, but it should be fun!😄

    Look out for Chuck from the UCI club who is coming with his geared
    Coker. He is by far the fastest rider I have ever seen ride. It will be
    interesting!

    wow! A geared coker would have to be in its own class as you said, just
    as it wouldn't be fair for Tyler & me to race against those on 20"
    unis. A geared *coker* at 1:1.5 ratio (in the high gear) would be like
    a 54"wheel! But what the hell, I'm up for the challenge with just my
    plain old 36er!😄

    Btw, how do you plan to keep track of everyone's individual laps? I
    plan on wearing my gps which will give precise laps, time, speed and
    distance.

    It looks like we raised about $2800, rode 128 miles as a group and had
    over 25 participants!!! It was a lot of fun and it will help out orange
    county's foster kids!

    I just got back too, and I had a blast! Wow, what a challenge to ride
    with Chuck and Tod, both in their early 20's and also riding tricked
    out cokers! They came in first and second, respectively, with Chuck
    clocking 53 laps, and Tod at 50. I came it at a respectable 49 laps! 😄

    We all had one hour to complete as many laps as possible on the 1/4
    mile track. After time was up, I decided to KEEP GOING an do another 2
    laps! I wanted to do my age in laps haha.

    Thanks to Adam for organizing the event! The OC register was there and
    they'll have video of the event online next Monday, and also a
    newspaper write up coming out on Thanksgiving.

    The Unicycle-A-Thon Charity event (held Saturday, 11/17/07) will have
    video and a write-up on Monday & Thursday here:
    http://www.ocregister.com/

    This info was provided by the photographer who shot the event, so I'm,
    assuming he's correct!😄 I'll be watching for it.

    PS: We were all looking forward to seeing Tyler's Homemade geared 26er
    in action, but right off the bat there were mechanical problems, so he
    had to ride his KH trials instead.🙁 His did manage to give us a "test"
    run prior to the start of the event, and he was really moving! 😎
