My Patch of Cyberspace, yeah!
" You'll find all sorts of inane ramblings in here. I rave about unicycles, rant at bad drivers, invent new pancake recipes, and occasionally feel the urge to yell into cyberspace. Don't take it too seriously. Unicycle related reports will be found mostly on Adventure Unicyclist (.com). My friends can find the password for protected posts on my Facebook page"

Guinness World Hour Record Attempt
I’ve decided to have another go at this record, because people have been bugging me about it for ages! I held the unicycle hour record back in 2005, but it has been broken several times since. It’s a record adopted from bicycling that most long distance unicyclists use as a benchmark for speed/distance.
Jan Logemann from Germany holds the current IUF Hour Record at 27.564km, but I still hold the current Guinness World Record at 25.6km. What’s the difference? Not everyone who breaks the record submits it to Guinness, or does it to Guinness guidelines. However, I’m not out to beat my own record, I’d like to push it further!
The track has been marked out at Victoria Park, Dubbo, NSW at 406.55m. It’s an outdoor cycling track but with minimal banking unlike most velodromes. That means I need just under 68 laps to break Jans’ record.
The local Dubbo cycle club has kindly agreed to help officiate the record attempt, so if you are in town, come on down and watch me go around in circles. Free pizza and refreshments provided.
