Sat Apr 19,2008 I road 85.46km in 7.52hrs (According to my Garwin GPS watch)
I did this in three section courses.
The first circuit was on my 36" and completed 52.11km highway (headwinds on way) I traveled from Fredericton to Burton Bridge and back. Bad spots on highway shoulder due to still melting snow and soft shoulder and mud.
The second circuit was on my 29" throught the bike trail. Beleive it or not still lots of snow on trails here (as a matter of fact I still have .5 ft of snow in backyard. Rode 23km's in mud, snow, ice and wash board trails. This section took me almost longer than 52 km section.
Completed the third section on my 36 and rode 10kms
Soft Gravel (Snow, mud, soft sholder of road) 23km
Strong winds (1st half of 54km headwind) 25km
Distance 85.11km in 7.5hrs

Sun Apr 20,2008 was longer and harder.
To begin with the St John River has rose quite a bit. Some of the section I road yesterday were dry and bare, today where under water (one spot over 1 meter under water so I had to walk around, rode 2kms in water almost touching my pedals.
Today I faced headwinds which severly slow me down for 4.5hrs. After I finished my first 54km I was exhausted so I lay down before beginning my 2nd circuit. On my 2nd circuit my right knee was sore so my riding pace was again slow. When my 30km loop was done I thought I would not be able to mount my unicycle one more time for the day. Now for my third loop. I really wanted to break the 90km ride but I was too sore in the saddle region, so I seattled on 88kms and 8hrs 5mins of riding time.
I used a really crappy DV Jazz camera/video. The pictures are crap. This video is boring. Only important stuff is the shot of my GPS indicating riding distance and time.
These last two days really challenged my riding skills, lots of variety, snow, water, wind, hills, some off roading in snow and mud mixture, riding in soft muddy shoulder of road.
Soft Gravel (River flooding, mud, soft sholder of road) 23km Strong winds (1st half of 54km headwind) 25km
