Rain, and humid. Cool lightning in the sky. |
| Rode with: |
| Kato, Cameron, Kris, Connie, Andy |
| Route: |
| Ride starts at the Historical Fort Snelling History Center, riding through Fort Snelling State Park, past the International Airport, the military cemetery, crossing the Minnesota river on Old & New Cedar Ave., through Eagan and Mendota Heights on the Big River's Trail, back across the Mendota Bridge to finish at the Historic Fort Snelling. |
| Comments from bicyclists: |
| The bicyclists were impressed. A lot of "that's cool" and "you guys are awesome". I got a few comments at the end from some bicyclists that they liked our idling at the stop light. |
| Notes: |
 Very fun night ride! Some bumps are a bit surprising, but the Coker just 'flys' over them. There were a few places in the trail where is was completely dark. It felt really weird going through those areas. Kato and I got our average way up in the last few 7 miles. Going up some slight inclines we passed a lot of bicyclists (they had it in low gear). This was my very first night ride and was a lot of fun. The ride was an organized cycling event by Pro Events International and there are a few details about the ride at <http://www.pro-events.com/mrr.html>. |

A blue-grey sky which made it dark. Little wind. |
| Route: |
| South on Lexington to Cummings Park (we have a show there tomorrow). Then I went through the paths and ended up at Snelling and hiway 96. Went west on 96 to cross hiway 10 and 35W. Then I went north past Edgewood Middle school till I got to Cty. Rd. H. I went east on H and took another rode to Cty. Rd. I. where I took the path through Shamrock Park and then through the open space. I finished the ride by going south on lexington to home. |
| Comments from non-unicyclists: |
| Some groups of kids in a couple places yelled "Cool" and "That's Awesome!" A group of adults at a party in their backyard yelled a whole bunch of things, most I didn't catch. One thing said was "where's the handle bars?" Hmmm… I was holding onto the seat :-). |
| Notes: |
| A few miles in the ride I was getting sore… It must have been a while since I rode last. After a while though the leg pain went away and other pain set in (time to invent a new seat!?!). The ride was pretty nice. It felt cool out, but once the sun went down the gnats (bugs) came out and I accidently made them my dinner (and also some inhailed through my nose and others in my eyes). |

Very cold, very wet, very windy. |
| Rode with: |
| Lindsey, Andy, Jake |
| Route: |
| Rode from restaurant into the wind, uphill in the rain. |
| Notes: |
| Why did we attempt this? Oh yeah… Jake was like 4 miles from having 100 miles. Lindsey couldn't keep up (and didn't have a raincoat) so we went slow and got picked up early. Going uphill into the wind with pouring rain is not much fun. |

| Route: |
| Started about 15 miles from the same restaurant that we were at the day before and rode to it. |
| Notes: |
| Nice easy and fast ride with the wind. A little chilly before we started, but once we got going we warmed up and sweated. |

Very Sunny and hot. |
| Rode with: |
| Ryan, Kato, Cameron, Kris, Colin, Jake, Tammy, Dillon, Dedra, Dick, Andy, Connie, Ashley, Lindsey, Tammy Marsh, Tanya Marsh |
| Route: |
| Started about 30 miles south of Linton, North Dakota and rode back. |
| Notes: |
| I was cruising at the beginning going an average speed of 12.7 MPH up and down the hills. We stopped at the river and got partially wet (some went all the way in, and not all were on purpose)… that felt really good on the very sunny day. I got lucky and was one of the few that didn't get sun burned. Lots of distinct tan lines appeared on the bodies of the other unicyclists. Shortly after the jump in the river we stopped to eat for a while. From there, there was 13 miles left and that was a killer because we were going across the wind and the wind pushes you to the side. A real pain to ride in and it killed my average. |
