For being camera shy, I had a lot of fun trying to record myself as I rode. I can&#8217;t say it turned out very well, or that the results are super entertaining, but if you&#8217;re lucky (or maybe unlucky depending on how you look at it) I may be brave and upload some of it to youtube.<\/p>\n<p>It started off with me trying to capture the reactions of motorists as they passed by. Unfortunately, it must have been too early, or too cold, because there were no motorists. I got tired of waiting for them so I turned the camera on myself. Also unfortunate, is that I missed the first and only driver to stop and make comments; he asked if I had ridden up the mountain from the bottom. I responded with an enthusiastic &#8220;NO WAY! -but I am going to ride it from Canada to Mexico?!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So the ride ended up being rather uneventful, with the exception that I broke my personal unicycling distance record. Today&#8217;s mileage was 19.5ish miles and I have to admit that my knees and some other parts were quite sore by the end. I plan to ride at least twice this far everyday? and off the pavement?? and with a pack? Oh boy&#8230; what have I gotten myself into? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure I want anyone to watch this, but here it is anyway&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning I headed up the mountain to Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park.
