Headwind, what headwind? All I remember is the wicked sidewind gusts
alternating with no wind when the houses blocked it - that and the fact
that it was great fun, even though I couldn't fly my kites because there
was too much wind.

The 7th Annual LBI Unithon will be held on *Saturday, June 11, 2005*,
not the 4th. All information is available at:

http://jjuggle.unicyclist.com/lbiunithon

Please note a major change. I will be handling the entry forms. My
contact information is on the site and my address is available on the
entry forms at the site. Roe Sprouls will be getting the T-shirts made
this year and handling some other aspects, but not entries. As we're
getting this going rather late this year, please get your entry forms to
me as soon as you can. Thanks!

Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

I should be able to make it. Not sure what I'll ride though. I may get a
cheap 29er or something just for this. Trouble is, if I get a cheap
29er, I will end up putting like $400 in upgrades on it.

I plan to attend again this year! Not sure about walking up all those
steps in the lighthouse after riding 19 miles on a unicycle, though.
🙄

I even just got a good deal on a camelbak mule at [censored]'s, so I will be
good to go!

Oh, and my mom got one of the 28-inch pennyfarthings for Christmas, so
she said she may join us for part of the ride. She doesn't think she
can make it all 19 miles. I'll have to make her increase the level on
the bike at the gym to get her in shape. 😉

Hope to see everyone again!

After the ride we normally gather somewhere for some food and hanging
out. The details of the where are still being worked out.

No other riding is organized for after the Unithon, but people bring all
kinds of unis and depending on where we are other riding is absolutely

cool.Jethro said:

Tell your mom I got dibs on trying out the penny farthering. Look

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to make it this year. I've gone to two
Unithons and found them fun. The biggest challenge was getting there
even close to 'on time' (I can't make it the day before, so it means an
early start for me).

My personal style of Cokering is to ride pretty fast, so when I finished
the ride the first time, I rode back halfway and then re-finished.
Anyone fast interested in a longer ride could very well start at the
finish, ride to the start, and then complete the normal course -- all in
less than the time it takes many riders to complete the ride just
once.

Alternatively, I think it COULD be a race, but it's not totally safe as
a 'race course' IMHO because there are some long stretches thru part of
the town. When I rode the Unithon my 2nd year in it, I did decide to
'race' against the clock, and after hanging out (fast) with my
convalescing brother for a mile, I ditched him and rode all out,
completing the 19 miles in about 1:15, I think. I remember that I
averaged 15 mph the whole ride, and I believe that I got off the seat
(but not the uni) for a few seconds at about the midway point. If I do
manage to go this year, I'll certainly try to make it there in time to
'race' -- but I have to stress that there is a long stretch in the
middle where riders should be quite careful of pedestrians, motorists,
and obstacles. Other than that, it's a nice course bc it's almost
totally flat.

The party at the end is always great fun, due in large part to the
friendship of the uni'ists attending and the generosity of the Sprouls
family and their friends who pitch in and otherwise volunteer to help.

Raphael,

If my mom is planning on doing part of the ride on her pennyfarthing,
does she also need to register? I suppose she probably does, just
checking.

Thanks 😄

Hey, Nikki. Yeah, she should probably register. Cool idea!

Nikki,

I do not believe that any two wheeled vehicles have in the past
registered. However, for the most part people on two wheels have
provided support, i.e. riding around making sure the unicyclists don't
get lost, have water, and are safe from traffic.

I'm going to make this executive pronouncement. If your mother is
capable of providing this kind of support on a penny farthering, she
need not register. If she does not plan to be of service in this way,
then yes, have her register and pay the entry fee.
