Mt Wilson on Two Wheels - One for me and One for Augie!

This was a long 13 miles of mostly downhill with tons of steep, rocky, rutted technical sections, and plenty of uphill climbing to boot, and I was worn out long before the end! Augie and I both had more than our share of nasty pedal strikes and bails! Augie is only 14 but already he is an advanced rider! I don't know of any other person in my age range riding trails like this; probably because they are sane for the most part, lol!

Btw, because unicycles are "fixed" wheels and can't coast, we pedaled over 10,000 revolutions each on this ride!

Augie rides with a lot of us older guys but he's a fast learner and rides daily and gets 100% support from his parents.
