I rode ~50km in the mountains Monday on my Trek. If I ride no-hands often my wrists and back are OK, and if I stand and honk then my crotch comes back to life. I need to put a smaller chainring on the python so those hilly rides are do-able for me. At 12:03 PM 7/6/2005, you wrote: >Hi Olaf, > >>Strangely enough I am not so bothered by the unicycle seat.

I was hiking in the mountain last weekend and saw a guy riding down Kitchen Creek Road on a 20" unicycle (it drops ~2200' over ~7 miles.) >>But leave the DF at home. > >DF? >double feature, dog food, data file, dead fish ??? Around our house: dog fart. Best left outside... With all of le Tour hoop-la, I didn't see a mention of RAAM. There were 2 recumbent teams, but no soloists. One bent team came in third - http://www.raceacrossamerica.org/files/raam2005/riders/Team%20ALS%20Bacchetta_2005.htm One member was quoted: 'Given the remarkable growth in support for gays and lesbians, I think there is a chance that recumbents might someday be accepted.'
