I'll second Mike's comment about Beau; after having ridden with him this
weekend (both coker muni and a 100k road ride), he's quite a monster
indeed, and these were apparently his first biggish rides ever on a
geared 36.

Yes we just got the geared 36 cycle working Saturday morning, so he had
ridden about 100' on it before that ride (plus about a mile on Corbin's
a few weeks ago).

Geared unicycles. Incredible. I can't believe what Chuck, Corbin and
Beau were doing this weekend offroad. And Tom and Mike were Blazing
too. But to see those guys blasting at well over 20mph on the dirt
roads we used to Muni on...it was incredible. I thought the Coker Muni
revolution we started in 2002 was a big deal, but this is more, way
more.

As for RTL, I think you guys should notice well the post a few up from
Smilymarco. I trust him when he says "Know how to use it". That means
they could be VERY hard to beat. But I know the man to try (Chuck!)

@Smilymarco, regarding the German Speeders: these are the guys featured
on Schlumpf's site for doing the Dusseldorf Marathon on their geared
36ers averaging 26.6km/h?

If so, then yeah, these guys will be tough to beat. If this was a hilly
marathon and they were able to keep the average up at 26.6km/h, then
they're definitely faster than I am (and faster than any of the riding
any of us did at Strawberry Fields yesterday)... if it was a flat
marathon and they only averaged 26.6km/h, then I think Beau and Corbin
and I (as well as quite a few other geared up 36 riders) could
effectively compete with them.

btw, 26.6 is about 16.5mph, methinks, right?

I dont know the track in Düsseldorf, but were talking about the same
people.

After the race, I will let other unicyclists try out my KH/Schlumpf
29er.

I think part of the fun of this race is going to be seeing the many
different unicycle set ups, and I am going to want to try riding a
geared 36 to see if I will want to eventually swap out my hub and put
it in a 36er. It seems that there will be a lot of geared 36ers at the
race now (maybe even more than geared 29ers).

What sort of average or cruising speeds were Beau and Corbin getting on
the flats? RTL is pretty flat from what I understand....I think it
will be one large drag race from start to finish.
