When you’ve been married for a long time, your partner can tell when you need something. Today, Danelle could just tell that I needed to get out. She sent me out for my normal Tuesday night 5K paddle early. Tonight I started early with a unicycle lap around the lake first. I set a personal … Continue reading “Landick and Unicycle – 9/3/2024”
We’ve started getting involved in the Mississippi River Water Trail. Today, they were hosting a sunset paddle leaving from Piasa harbor. I drove up from St. Louis with a canoe.

My friend and national speaker, Joe Fingerhut called me to ask a favor. His unicycle had a broken part and its a part of several of his speaking engagements.

I decided that life is short and I would try an upgrade to the Nimbus Nightfox. Once ordered using money from my birthday, I figured I could … Continue reading “Nimbus Nightfox – 6/15/2022”
Danelle and Sonora wanted to get more paddle training for this year’s MR340 race. I drove them out to the Klondike ramp and dropped them off. First prepping the boat from the land.

I’m a happy user of the trail system in St. Louis, primarily managed by Great Rivers Greenway (GRG). My two favorite are the Gravois Greenway (Grant’s Trail), and the River Des Peres Greenway. There is a bridge has been working on for some time going over the River Des Peres to join the two trails … Continue reading “Finally Crossing The Bridge – 3/4/2021”
Sometimes the weather is perfect and you just need to get outside. Today was that day and I chose to go to the Katy Trail and ride. I started at the Weldon Springs access point and headed out west.
