I saw an event online that I just didn’t want to pass up. It was an organized Donut Ride. The plan was pretty simple. Bicycle approximately 14 miles and visit 5 different donut shops. We had plans for later in the day, so we were going to visit the first 3 donut shops, then turn … Continue reading “Donut Ride – 6/29/2019”
After uni-cycling across the American southwest this summer, I decided that I wanted a new unicycle. I’ve been thinking about what I might get. My current inventory is Sun 20″ Torker 24″ Unknown 24″ Custom 29″ Coker 36″ What I didn’t want to do is buy something that I already have (ignore the two 24″) … Continue reading “UDC Titan 32″ – 6/20/2019”
Corvin and I went for an afternoon unicycle ride. We ended up riding by a neighborhood pump track. We both tried and failed pretty good! There was video, but we got psyched out before really doing anything. After the pump track, the rest of the ride was pretty laid back. Corvin looks like he’s coming … Continue reading “Unicycles at the Pump Track – 5/4/2019”
Austin Calzada is a young kid that I consider a friend. He recently had an article in the River Front Times about his unicycling. I have a collection of unicycles. He wanted to ride a few, so I brought them all out to play. Here are a few photos and a video of the ride. … Continue reading “Unicycling With Austin – 3/23/2019”
Its Valentine’s Day, but that doesn’t stop the Sunset Race. I’ve been married long enough that it isn’t a highly encouraged [or else] type of holiday. Actually, we both agree its a made up holiday, but that is another topic. I started off the Sunset Race with a unicycle ride. Even after all these times … Continue reading “123rd Sunset Race – 2/14/2019”

I was riding one of my favorite unicycle tracks from my house getting some exercise and enjoying the weather. I heard somebody yelling at me (which is normal) but it was persistent. I looked over to see a young man running on the other side of a major street carrying a unicycle. I stopped and … Continue reading “Meeting Austin – 4/5/2018”
I’ve been wanting to do longer unicycle rides for a while now. Today I decided it was the day to do just that. The plan was to ride the Mississippi River Trail (MRT) loop. I started early going up the deserted Missouri side of the trail starting near the Gateway Arch. Going up the Missouri … Continue reading “MRT Loop – 2/25/2018”
Sometimes you just have to get out of the house and explore. Corvin and I wanted to go for a unicycle ride and it seemed just warm enough at the house. We packed the unicycles and headed downtown to the Mississippi Riverfront Trail. We got out of the van, unloaded and started to ride. It … Continue reading “Unicycles and Water Pipes – 2/18/2018”
What a super cold month! So cold in fact, there were pipes bursting all over town. One popped in my office building giving us some unexpected time off… I tried to turn my driveway into an ice rink. On a few of the warmer days, I got in some unicycle riding. My parents came in … Continue reading “January – 2018”
