This past Sunday Tommy and Myself planned his "Welcome Back
to Memphis - Tour d'Wolf MUni Ride". Tommy brought Marquis.
He is a participant of the MUC Youth Uni-ty initiative.
'Youth Uni-ty '

Marquis is an enthusiastic innercity kid (see photo gallery
on MUC website) who earned his unicycle and is already an
amazing little rider. (Once, someone verbally explained
"seat out back" riding. So he grabbed a Uni and did it first
or second try). He comes to meetings whenever possible and
loves to get out on the Mountain B*ke trails with us for
MUni adventures. (Without Tommy's Uni-ty program he
certainly never would have had this experience).
Anyway, this made me laugh. Him too.
It had rained a couple of days prior. While most of the
trail was dry, there were puddles along the way. I was
following Marquis when he splished through a puddle the size
of a dinner plate. Ten feet later, he zoomed through another
twice the size. 10 feet later he attacked one only slightly
bigger and sunk down do his axle. It sounded like: ....splish...........splish...............SPA-
LOOSH! I thanked him for the heads up. We laughed about it
some and continued on. In about 5 minutes we came to the
next puddle. A muddy stream trickle actually. Marquis never
even slowed down. Tommy and I tippy-toed across.
Its a blast to ride with this kid. Bravo to Marquis. Hats
off to Tommy.
