Unicycling the Tom Thomsom Trail in May 2010

Unicycling the Tom Thomson Trail will be my first off-road unicycling adventure.

The Tom Thomson Trail is a non-motorized, multi-use (biking, hiking and horseback riding), 3-season (spring through fall) trail between Owen Sound and Meaford and is 43.4 km long. This trail goes right by the farm where I grew up as a kid.

My plan is to unicycle the Tom Thomson trail in early May 2010. My objective is to unicycle the trail in its entirely and with no logistical support (i.e. no support car following me) save for a few water replenishments along the way. I estimate it will take me 4-6 hours to complete.

Other than riding the trail, I've not yet made any plans for fund-raising or sponsorship. I am doing this first and foremost as a personal challenge, but if anyone has any idea to make this a more fun and meaningful event I am open to suggestions.
Dave Adair has agreed to be my local PR Manager and he is already dreaming up sensational headlines.

As my plans develop, I will keep everyone up-to-date who is interested.
