Pedal the Parks: RECORD DAY

Saturday, April 12th, was a record setting day for my unicycling venture. I rode four (4) parks in one day. I rode the second park with NO stops. I even completed a full 360 with no problems. I also completed the tenth park, which put me into double figures and brought me to beyond a 10% completion rate. Riding, with no stops, was my best ride so far, but I was also treated to the worst road conditions so far.

The highlights of the day were:
> witnessing three (3) deer charging from a wooded area right in front of us. I had visions of an "old" unicyclist being broad sided by a running deer. This was not a pretty picture.
> taking a break, from riding, to watch a college softball game between Loras College and Central of Pella. ( A former neighbor was playing for Loras, and we were in the area.)
> Upon leaving Pella, we saw two (2) young boys riding their unicycles on the city sidewalks. It brought a pleasant reaction, and I was inclined to join them
> Enjoying a 83 degree sunny day. (two days later we awoke to a snow covered yard)
> Completing a terrible mile at Margo Frankel Woods without having to resort to using the better roads at the cemetery across the street.
