8/29/2021 Today is the day that we officially complete our 48 state unicycle journey. Its hard to believe its over. I’ve seen our growth as we get more comfortable with visiting each state and documenting our journey together. The smiles in our faces of the state photo above tells of how we feel about the … Continue reading “State 48 – Missouri”
7/10/2021 There are many iconic places in Illinois that we could unicycle at. Several places in Chicago come to mind, but that has been done so many times before. Instead, I had something better planned. I’ve heard about and not participated for many years in the Tour de Donut. Its an annual event held during … Continue reading “State 47 – Illinois”
6/2/2021 Our last state of our northeast adventure. We’re excited to ride! We’re in Albany, NY riding along the Hudson river. When we finish, we’ll tour the USS Slater destroyer escort right as the museum opens. But first, its time to ride! Okay, you found me out, sometimes we walk. By 8 states into a … Continue reading “State 46 – New York”
6/1/2021 I’m not sure what internal bias I have, but this is another state where we ended up riding next to the boarder of another state. By my count about 25% of rides ended up that way. I don’t have an official criteria, but just an interesting note. I point this out because we crossed … Continue reading “State 45 – Vermont”

I often think how great it would be to do this trip all over again now that we … Continue reading “State 44 – New Hampshire”

We started off with an issue we don’t generally have, looking for parking. We were riding … Continue reading “State 43 – Maine”
5/30/2021 We were not actually planning on riding today. In my planning for this trip, I learned of the American Heritage Museum. I’ve seen some awesome photos of the place and decided Corvin and I should go. Based on our timing Sunday was the only day we could go when they were open and stay … Continue reading “State 42 – Massachusetts”
Ride With Us In Our 48th State In 2019, Corvin and I set off on a journey to unicycle for 1 hour in all lower 48 states. We unicycled in every state except for our home state, Missouri. One of the things that has made our riding exciting is the people that we meet and … Continue reading “Announcing our 48th State Ride in St. Louis, Missouri”
5/30/2021 Here we are entering the smallest of the United States. Corvin and I spent some time joking that we would ride across the whole state in one outing. However the state is approximately 37 miles tall by 48 miles long and that is more than I’ve ever done in a day. It did however … Continue reading “State 41 – Rhode Island”
