Hi everyone,
Many of you will be going to UNICON 16, our two yearly unicycle world championships and convention.
For those of you keen on unitouring, I’m hosting a workshop on Mon 23rd July at 1600hrs (venue to be approved). We’ll show some slideshows and videos of our tours, then open for discussion and suggestions for our next tour.
After the workshop, I’m having a dinner/reunion for the riders who were on tours I organised: The Laos Unitour, SINZ Unitour, Uninam, Induni, Yunnauni, The Queen Charlotte and Heaphy Trip. Chat about your unitouring experiences and share a few tall tales from far away. This will be at Mon 23rd July at 1800hrs after the Unitouring workshop. Venue again to be confirmed, but if you RSVP either by emailing me or on Facebook, I’ll get the numbers to book a restaurant.
See you soon!
Ken

Ok, it’s only taken me five years, but here is the animoto slideshow of our South Island, New Zealand Unicycle Tour in 2007.
If there is one Unitour video you must watch, this is it. You’ll see some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, as our group of unicyclists ride from Dunedin, through the historic Central Otago Rail Trail, up the West Coast to Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers, and climb back over Arthurs Pass to finish in Christchurch.

We could think of better unicycles to ride than a 20″, but it’s not often you get Adventure Unicycling featured in a music video.

Riding to Gibraltar on one wheel…

Matt Downing made a final 135km ride into Gibraltar today, after over 3000km in the saddle:
“I wake up early with the strange feeling knowing the trip would be over before I’m next asleep. I say goodbye to the others who are awake at the Hostel and head off by the sea. The roads then become absolutely crazy so I take to the fields climbing fences over and under, and am covered in dirt.”
Read about the inspirational journey on Matt’s blog
Congratulations Matt!
