Hey, I don't know if anyone remembers me posting about the unicycle ride
I was at last year, maybe i'll look it up. If I posted I said something
like, " it was really fun and inspiring, even if I did walk most all of
it". Anyways, it was through a development, but there were lots of other
unicyclers there, and I enjoyed it.
They had it again this year, I thought they forgot to tell me when it
was, then I got a phone call. I asked my 2 unicycle buddies Caleb and
Josh, who didn't ride last year, and also my student Catia, who doesn't
ride yet. We had a lesson for Sunday, around the time of the ride, so I
got permission to take her to that instead, woo hoo!
We got there in time to register, there were forms for parents to filled
out, I filled some parts, but left the medical stuff pretty well blank,
they accepted it, and nobody got hurt anyways. Then Sam talked a bit,
and the ride started. Josh and Caleb disapeared with pretty much
everyone else. Catia held onto me and I walked with my unicycle. A
pretty, young lady, I think her name was Jenn came to her other side so
Catia had two people to hold onto. I had her practice on a fence other
times, so i'm glad she used people, helped her get closer to riding I
think. Usually she'd go a bit, then fall off. I had kinda figured i'd
not be riding too much, which was fine, cause I wanted Catia to be
encouraged like I was last year : ) We didn't ride the whole thing, we
went a few blocks at least, at one point she took a break and I rode for
a little. Jenn said I mastered backwards cause I rode a bit, and I was
like " I wouldn't say mastered" but it was a compliment none the less. I
think she used to ride unicycle, but hasn't for awhile. We got to a
water station, Catia got a ride back, Jenn might of to, and I rode my
uni, finding other people, and eventually my two other buddies.
They didn't have any perfomances like last year, so the whole thing was
pretty short, but it was cool. I got to ride a 5 foot unicycle, which
wasn't too hard, but would take some getting used to, besides it was a
20 inch and i'm used to my 24, but it was helpfull as to i'm thinking
about getting a 6 footer sometime. I also got to say hi to some people I
hadn't seen for a bit, so God blessed with a fun day for us, and awesome
weather.
