| Ayecarumba Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 89 Posts: 1744 | I apologize for my tardiness. I was laid out ill for the past week. Congratulations on the ride! It has been fun and interesting following the evolution/training. With your recent strong performances, the outcome wasn't an "if", but only a "when". My question is, what's next on the unicycle bucket list? The Century? |

No problem. I wouldn't call you tardy. Thank you for being a gentleman and honoring the bet.
As Paco mentioned, I'm planning to do a very hilly 34-mile ride on Tuesday. Then there is the 40-mile Tour de Summerlin in April, which will also have some significant hills, but not has bad as the River Mountains Loop. Long term, I'm thinking of doing the Camino de Santiago on a unicycle. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

There is a nice trail connecting the towns and a railroad that goes under the mountains. The immediate trail is only 7 miles long so you have to walk around. |

Maybe when you're 35 again.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Maybe I could do it faster at 35 but I could still do it now. Plenty of people well over 50 have done the PCT and AT. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Pilgrims in 2013 that received the compostelas at the Pilgrims Office in Santiago during 2013: 215,880 pilgrims.Since there are pilgrims that does not care about the compostela, and never pick it up, it is difficult to know exact number.
