On the drive home to Columbus, I decided to stop in Mansfield for another hour of riding. I guess people don’t really understand these rides for 2-3 hours are like running a half marathon! I made the classic mistake — I rode all the way “down” a hill and then had to ride back “up”. […]
It was another beautiful sunny day, this time in Cleveland. I met several veterans outside the VA hospital where I parked. They were very glad to see me and asked a lot of questions, like how long it took to learn to ride a unicycle. I had a woman from the hospital ask if I could […]
What an excellent day. The Weather Channel forecasted rain all weekend in central Ohio and we ended up with a sunny, warm day for the Arthritis Walk and 5K Run. I felt a little weird coming up to the registration area, but saw the Clippers mascot, “Krash” there. I tried to steer clear of him since […]
As I drove down I71 a couple of guys took a second look at the clown driving on the freeway. They had really big smiles as I went by. The rain cleared so I decided to stop off over near the Martin Luther King Jr. Complex. Everyone was really nice in the neighborhood — smiling […]
I entered Old Towne Dublin from the bridge across the Scioto River. They have some really nice shops there. I always wondered what they would say if I went into a salon for a haircut! I need to try that some day. I crossed the street and went past some folks outside at a café. […]
Wow — what a beautiful day, 71 degrees and a few clouds. Great weather for a unicycle ride! I did a loop around State Street, Main Street, Cleveland Avenue, and Schrock Road. The sidewalks were pretty good — too bad that’s my measure of a town but it really makes a difference when it comes […]
This was the longest ride I’ve taken at one time to date — 8.5 miles. I did take a mini-break to eat a couple of sandwiches and drink water. You’ve got to take care of yourself during long exercise events so you don’t dehydrate or get low blood sugar. I am starting to get a […]
I took a ride in downtown Gahanna by Creekside. The buildings were just beautiful and the people were very friendly — waving and honking as I rode by. I went by Bicycle One on Mill Street. I almost stopped in but I decided to roll on. I’ll have to go back sometime. I rode up […]
I had a few minutes before leaving Cincinnati, so I rode for another mile down Montgomery Road by the Kenwood Town Centre Mall. I just love to see the looks on people’s faces when I go by waving. I’d guess that at least 80% of them waved back. Parents slowed down so their kids could […]
It was much cooler today, in the 40’s. Loveland is truly a beautiful city tucked into the northeastern part of Cincinnati – just outside I275. I waited for the other runners/walkers to start before I began my first “race”. A few people said I was cheating — they were just joking. I guess they have […]
