May 9, 2019 This was our first Sunset Race that almost didn’t happen that wasn’t our choice. We’ve voluntarily skipped when there was too much ice or thunderstorms. But this one was blocked due to flooding. Jason, JoJo and Melissa looking it over. We walked a ways past the road closed to get to this … Continue reading “126th Sunset Race”
Mungenast Motorsports in St. Louis is a dealer of Indian motorcycles. I like motorcycles and love the opportunity to ride any one that I can. I found the schedule of the demo rides and got two of the guys at work (Binary Bandits) to join me for the demo ride. We scheduled a 2 hour … Continue reading “Indian Demo Ride – 5/8/2019”
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”
Steve and Jackie invited us to see Nathan’s First Communion. Danelle was out of town, but Corvin, Sonora, and I were able to make it. The church was packed with family and we barely got a seat in the balcony. There are not any photos in church, cause that isn’t my style. We met them … Continue reading “Nathan’s First Communion – 5/4/2019”

Once I scouted out the race course, I realized it was very close to our house and … Continue reading “Jim Shamel Run – 5/4/2019”
June 11, 2019 Colorado, home of the Rocky Mountains, and our lowest elevation change yet! This was also the last full state we would unicycle on this family vacation, getting the American southwest taken care of. We wanted to camp near the Great Sand Dunes. National Park & Preserve Colorado. They are the tallest sand … Continue reading “State 8 – Colorado”
June 10, 2019 We were going to ride in Arches National Park. You may not have realized this, but if you’ve seen a current Utah license plate, a likeness of Delicate Arch is depicted on the license plate. After some careful planning and reviewing the elevation on Google Earth, we found a reasonable stretch to … Continue reading “State 7 – Utah”
Kelly came over to watch the St. Louis Blues play the Dallas Stars with Danelle. These ladies have been hockey fans for a long time. The Blues were playoff bound and they were excited about hockey. We didn’t have much around the house before the game, so I went to the grocery store to get … Continue reading “Watching The Blues with Kelly – 5/3/2019”
June 8, 2019 Our next stop was the state of Nevada and specifically, Sin City (Las Vegas). Corvin and I wanted to do something iconic, so we settled for the Las Vegas strip. We had a hotel on the strip. Before we got there, we agreed that we would unicycle first thing in the morning … Continue reading “State 6 – Nevada”
