Thanks Liz Wilson for the photo! It's been a bit since you've seen some news here.  Rest assured, that's NOT because we've been inactive.  Quite the contrary, we've been too busy riding to keep the virtual end of things up to date. The picture above is from the  6 Hours of Brady's Run  race on May 10th.  We're all smiling because this was before it went all down.  Yes, we had a unicycle class with 8 total entries.  It was definitely a FANTASTIC experience.  Not only because we had a great group of riders- including Liz and James from out of state, but because the organizers do an amazing job of putting on an event that welcomes all levels of riders.  6 Hours is a long time to ride a unicycle, but it's much easier when you're sharing the experience with other cycling brothers and sisters- even if they have 2x as many wheels. The weekend immediately after Brady's Run we went to Dirt Rag's Dirt Fest .  We've been there in some ...

Last Friday night's trip to the Carnegie Science Center was an all around good time.  It was a good thing we had a crew of around a dozen of us to help as we had 200 people sign waivers and give unicycling a try.  Once again, 0 injuries.  Overall, unicycling is a relatively safe venture.  And as many people discovered, it's challenging and FUN! If you were there that night and are now reading this, we hope you'll join us again in a bigger space (The Wheel Mill or Butler YMCA) to really get the feel for riding.  As always, we don't ask that you give up anything else you may already pedal.  We just ask that you remember that unicycles are more than just circus props. As I sit here and type this, we're in the middle of the coldest day of the year.  Let's hope this is it and Spring is around the corner.  Let's look forward to riding comfortable again outside. Here are a couple of events you may want to keep in mind: 1. 6 Hours of Brady's Run...

It's been a busy month of May for us.  The last post was Roller Derby.  This picture is from Dirt Fest- the 17th to 19th.  Thanks to our friends at Dirt Rag for an amazing event.  We had the opportunity to have a learner session and a group MUni ride on the official schedule.  There were a couple of video cameras on the trip, but the footage hasn't been posted yet.  Still the 8 of us who went had a great time. Since then we've been working on NAUCC (of course) and scouting out other local riding areas to be able to direct those who head into town looking for riding some options should they want to come early or stay late.  We do have some video from those sessions- that's for another day. In the grand scheme of what we do, this is one of the most important pictures: Some of our uni club members donated to the Y during their last campaign.  We were asked to share this letter. Thanks to those who donated.  Thanks Butler YMCA for all you do in t...
