Ride the Lobster Baby!

Dustin, Josh and Scott comprised Team Unicycle.com #33 for the first of it's kind Ride the Lobster, the "Tour de France of Unicycling." This epic 800 kilometer, 5 day stage race across Nova Scotia was not for the faint of heart. 35 three person teams competed, each riding around 200 kilometers per day. One day was individual time trials and a criterion. Dustin placed 27 out of 105 riders, Josh placed 30 and Scott placed 95. Scott was the oldest rider in RTL but not quite the slowest. Over all, Team Unicycle.com placed 24.
Jody, Scott's wife, was the detail support for the team and Katie, Dustin's wife, was the team driver.

Over all it was an incredible experience and a blast to participate in. Nova Scotia is truly a beautiful province and their lobsters are plenty. We ate lobster once and declined many more offers...once was enough!
