Rollin', rollin', rollin'!

After taking a couples days off this weekend (it got cold!), I got back in the saddleagain this morning and rode around (and around and around) the neighborhood, trying to get some beginning distance riding in, even though it's with a MUni on streets and sidewalks. There's no way I would have run or jogged so far as I rode, but on one wheel it's still a great workout without all the pounding. This is going to go a long way in dropping the extra poundage I'm still carrying around after baby #4! But, being the wuss that I am in cold weather, maybe I should talk Habeeb into a trails uni I could learn tricks on in the garage with a space heater!

Actually, he's got the unibug bad enough that he's planning on ordering a freestyle uni for himself later today (cyber monday!). He's gonna get a 20" wheel so Jman can maybe ride it too. Wouldn't that be awesome?!?

Anyway, I'm riding smoothly on the new MUni, and for long enough distances before UPD's (unplanned dismounts). I'm comfortable with most of what I used to do eons ago on my old unis. My most immediate goal was to get back into good enough shape to be able to try some of the harder stuff I used to do (still not terribly complicated) on this bigger tougher MUni, and to get over the initial "saddle soreness" from starting back riding. So, I'm definitely on track so far. And riding again is just flat out FUN! I'm SO glad I'm getting back into riding, and also SO glad that there's a fantastic uni forum online with so many folks to learn from and share with. Check it out at unicyclist.com.
