Twelve Miles on a Unicycle
ByI broke my personal record today, pedaling my unicycle 0ver 12 miles (12.1 to be exact)! I’d say that’s not bad for a 57-year old guy who just started back riding about a year ago. My goal, however, is to be able to go at least 50 miles a day without my body falling apart.
The reason I’m doing this slightly-offbeat thing is two-fold:
- 1. I love and need the exercise and hate going to the gym, and
- 2. I’m training to ride this summer for Bruce & Susan Keenan’s charity – sending orphan Nepalese kids to school.
If anyone wants to sponsor my ride, please contact Bruce Keenan and say you’d like to be a sponsor of the Unicycle Ride for the Keenan’s Kids. Or you can make a donation at www.HimalayanCharities.com.
Meanwhile I’m still looking for the right venue for my ride. Suggestions?
