  2. Carol-

    A New Years Day ride hosted by you could only be the most formal,
    elegant affair. I'm sorry I will be in a more "tropical" environment at
    that time. You misprinted your e-mail which I think should read
    "unicycleeccentric" rather than "unicyclecentral" but I could be wrong.
    Take whatever fools show up in foul weather gear on the ride of their
    lives.

  3. If you change your mind, and you should, join us.

    You're not chicken, are you? Weren't you the one who was afraid of the
    roller coaster at the Mall of America? Or was that Drummond? You two
    look so much alike, I get you confused.

    New Year's Day! See you then.

    I'm the tall, extremely attractive, modest, powerfully built one with
    chiseled features, greek god-like flowing hair, and beautiful
    disposition who is loved by all and featured on T-shirts and temporary
    tatoos worldwide. Drummond is the frumpy, grumpy one who is afraid of
    his own shadow and is mean to everyone. Unless you mean Amy. Then I lose
    in all categories, hands down.

    I'm just trying to keep your thread alive, Carol. Who's going to ride in
    Minneapolis on New Years Day? Doesn't it rain liquid nitrogen there this
    time of year?

    You don't sound stupid. It's not in your country. It's in the state of
    Minnesota, USA, just across the Mississippi River from Minnesota's
    capital, St. Paul.

    Well, actually, Minneapolis is on both sides of the Mississippi. So is
    St. Paul.

    See, Murde Mental. It's in MY country, I've actually BEEN there, and I
    STILL don't know jack about it. I don't feel stupid though. I KNOW I'm
    stupid.

    Oh, I don't think I knew until I was 20 or so... when I went to the U
    which was on both sides of the river, yet still all in Minneapolis.

  11. Here in Spain we have a popular race the last day of the year!!

    It is called "San Silvestre" and of course we are going by unicycle!!
    There are lots of San Silverstres along the country so almost every
    unicyclist would go.

    You can see the web page of the San Silvestre of Madrid:
    www.sansilvestrevallecana.com

    There is better way to end the year????

    Pepe, Monociclos.Com

    PD: Gilby please activate my gallery account or tell me what to do whit
    the unicycle pics I want to upload 🙁

  12. The New Year's Day ride in St. Paul was a great success with 10 riders
    going varying distances before the skies opened up and liquid nitrogen
    (aka freezing rain) hit.

    It was about 19 degrees with a cold wind, but the great people in this
    picture, including the really tall guy in the back row, made it all
    bearable.

    Can't wait for next year!

  14. Carol, is that you in the bear suit, or Harper?
    Is that a sliver of Max that can be seen standing next to his dad?

    It was cold here New Years day as well. I had to ride with a shirt as
    the temperature only hit 73 (F).

    I've heard Harper is so stupid he thinks he knows what he doesn't know,
    but I don't know. I'm not the brightest bulb in the set, but at least I
    no longer use cottered cranks.

    Glad you had a good ride,
    Happy New Year,
    Jer

  16. It would have been great to ride in Reno or Texas, but alas, we're stuck
    with the frozen north.

    Yes, it's me in the bear suit. I look better than usual, don't you
    think?

    Harper? He's the one in the chicken suit, hiding behind the sign.

    Max was home sleeping, sensible guy that he is.

    No one got frostbite on this ride, even though I was the only one smart
    enough to wear a fur coat.
