Cloudy, light rain for quite a while and some heavier. Heavy wind from the west. |
| Rode with: |
| Kato, Cameron, Kris, Ryan, Ashley, Irene, Jamey, Schwartzy, Connie, Neil |
| Route: |
| From Flake (Forest Lake High School), went east on 97, then north on 96 where it later joined with 8 and we rode to Taylors Falls. Then I rode up the hill in the St. Croix Valley, then got a ride up to where the others that didn't go up so that I could finish with them to the end which was at the Ulmer's cabin. |
| Comments from non-unicyclists: |
| Lots of horns. |
| Notes: |
| Another 30 miler. The first few miles I felt sore muscles in my thighs, but after a while that went away and I was cruisin'. I got a new maximum speed of 24.5 MPH (39.4 km/h). WOW! I didn't know I was going that fast, but I was in the lead and takin' easy so that I didn't get to far in front of anybody else. On a hill Kato passed me up maxin' out at 18.9 MPH, so I decided to catch up and keep pace with him. I think during the time I was catching up was when I got my maximum speed, but it didn't seem like I was going that fast. I drank plenty during the ride and afterwards I ate a lot along with everyone else. Going into the wind really sucked and when we stopped to wait for the slow group, we got cold from the wind.
After the ride we played around at the Ulmers cabin... only one person got wet after seeing a bottle rocket firecracker about to go off a couple feet in front of her.

Sunny, Blue sky, slight wind from the south. |
| Route: |
| North on Lexington, then east on I, north on Hodgson, east on Cty. Rd. J past movie theater to some lake. Went south on the street next to the lake. Got on another path that went 'round White Bear Lake. Went through the townstreets of White Bear Lake then west on 96 on the sidewalk. Then south on White Bear Ave and got lost. Got disorientated, found Cty Rd. E and went the opposite way of home (get extra miles that way!)... turned around and went towards home on E... I eventually got onto Cty. Rd. F going west. Then I turned north onto Hodgson, west on 96, through the community center area and back home. |
| Comments from non-unicyclists: |
| Kids in white rusted truck yelled "Faggot!", I didn't respond, but came up with this comeback in case that happens again: "Sorry, I'm not Bi!"… OK, so they both aren't the same meanings, but it's along the same lines (You do get the pun, don't you?). At the first gas station a guy said, "nice way to get around!" There was also 2 guys, a girl and some clapping as I passed by. Lots of typical reactions from motorists: thumbs up, slowing down, waving, horn honking... I got the "doo doo do do..." circus stuff once from a guy in the bleachers at a baseball game. |
| Notes: |
| Longest ride yet. I got two M-DM-D of 6.83 mi, from my first and second stops… odd that they were the same. If I could keep my shorts dry, I'd be ridin' with no discomfort. |

| Route: |
| Airport Loop (started at Minnehaha Falls and looped around the airport) |
| Comments from non-unicyclists: |
| The usual… nothing special. |
| Notes: |
| Nice loop, I got the maximum speed of 24 MPH on the smooth rode that parallels the airport runway. I had to catch up to Kato (world champion racer). I think I was going into the wind then too. |

 Airport Loop: Under Mendota Bridge
Near the end of the ride we waited under the bridge for everyone to catch up... then we went up a steep hill to get onto the bridge.

Nice and sunny. |
| Rode with: |

| Route: |
| Minnehaha Falls… Started near the falls and went up to the Fort Snelling Entrance where planes sometimes fly over when landing in the airport. Then we rode back and hung around the falls for a while. |
| Notes: |
| 28" seemed slow… maybe shorter cranks would help, or just ride the Coker. |
