My 2nd Uni-Century!

My 2nd Uni-Century!
What an INCREDIBLE ride I had Sunday! And I completed 100 miles in just 9 hours, 56 minutes, a new record for my age! (57) But in my quest to finish in under 10 hours, I took less breaks than usual, and paid for it with terrible leg cramps for the final 25 miles or so, but it was worth it! I filmed much of my ride via my gopro which was "holstered" under my touring handle so I could shoot footage while riding, and not have to stop and lose time.

I am so blown away. I rode a unicycle as a kid, and remember how much more work it was than riding a bike.
Great video, too. Thanks!
P.S. I never got the hang of the free-mount -- I wish I could have seen your video on that topic back when I was 12!

When I first saw your post about the time I thought 'big deal' but then I realized it was on a uni cycle. Wow you're awesome!
Great job, I've seen some of your other videos!!!

Impressive! I did a 15 mile uni ride last summer, and decided it was 5 miles too far. Considering I rode brevets up to 400 km as well as 326 miles in a 24 hour race last year on 2 wheels, 100 miles on a uni is amazing.

Wow! Incredible! All the superlatives seem so inadequate -- but there doesn't seem to be anything else to say. There is just no way that words can do this justice... Thanks for sharing this with us...
