Unicon XIV in Copenhagen

Howdy!  I just returned from an awesome trip to Europe that included competing in the Unicycle World Championships.

The 10-day long Unicycling World Championship and Convention was a fantastic event, bringing together over 1000 competitiors, and hundreds of non-competitors.  I am producing a segmented documentary of the ordeal, which will be available online in a couple weeks.  Contributions to my project were made by municycle.com and unicycle.tv.  Thank you!

The photo above (by Kristian Sommer) shows me competing in the Muni Uphill race.  I ended up winning two silver medals in my age group:  for Uphill, and for Muni North Shore (technical downhill).  In Expert Muni Overall, which also includes the Cross-Country Race and Downhill Race, I ranked 5th.
