|
The Unicycle Across Minnesota event
took place on, Aug. 14-22, 1999! Thirty-five unicyclists took to the
road to cover a distance of 477 miles for a good cause - to raise money
for the Multiple Sclerosis Society. We invite you to read the
daily updates and look at pictures to fill you in on the ride
experience.
Unicyclists from throughout the country
and around the world have participated in the ride. While about half of the
unicyclists are from Minnesota, other states that were represented include Michigan,
Washington, South Dakota, Massachusetts and California. Unicyclists from Germany,
Japan and the UK also trained hard for the event.
The riders unicycled across
the state of Minnesota , starting at Elmore near the
Iowa border, and ending at International Falls on the Canada border. They
rode from 40 to 70 miles a day, averaging about 10 miles per hour. They use unicycles
with at least a 28" wheel.
The total distance of 477 miles was
covered in nine days, Aug. 14-22, 1999.
