Flying High with Better Form???
Please help us raise money and awareness for Meniere's Disease Research! I have committed to ride a unicycle 1 mile in all 95 of the designated State Parks in Iowa and Patty will ride her recumbent trike to provide odometer accuracy and photo documentation. A fund for "Burkey's 'Vision of Hope' for Meniere's Research" has been established through The University of Iowa Foundation. We would love you to support our rides for research with a tax deductible donation: www.givetoiowa.org/burkey

Second and Third Parks
After the humbling experience of my first ride, I was able to complete two (2) parks in the same day. This was a huge accomplishment and re-instated a lot of confidence in my riding challenge. Both parks surrounded lakes and had nice asphalt roads that passed by the lake, beach, and campground areas. In spite of the 60 degree temperature, both lakes were still partially frozen. The open water areas were covered with many ducks, geese, and pelicans. Both rides went much better then the first one. There were several dismounts, but no unexpected forward rolls. Switching unicycles from a 24 inch wheel to a 20 inch wheel, was a good move. It allowed for a shorter fall as well. Two (2) miles in one day seemed like a long way. Only 92 parks to go.
