Someone asked if there will be unicycle racing at the Big Bike Bash so I confirmed there would be.

What kind of racing for unicycles? I am guessing a 4-5 mile lap would be a bit much.

Any unicyclist here want to give me some hints about length, terrain, rules etc?

from what i'v seen make it a nice and easy underfoot. and keep them separate from bikes - they don't mix.

They seem to manage solo at Mayhem just fine so why treat them any differently?

Keep in mind unicycles will be running 26" to 29"...about granny ring speed compared to an MTB.

Despite being a rider, I wouldn't knock yourself out with special catering for them.

if you put them in a big tent with a some face paints and custard pies, they'll be happy
