Well it's been a while since I updated since Max has finished his trip. The support was amazing. I have sent out the first round of stickers to all the sponsors whose address I had. If you didn't get a sticker and would want one, just e-mail me with your address.
So what is Unicycle Max doing now? Well, he performed at the Maine Blues Festival on June 17th, rode in the Independance Day parade in Montpelier on July 3rd, he'll be at the River Ridge Center Open House in Kennebunk, ME in September, and will be performing at the Auburn Public Library soon. Also, a couple big plans for next year, he'll be competing in the Whiteface Uphill Race in New york, all the while writing about his 6 state tour, and preparing for school in the spring.

29 days and 715 miles later, Max is back at his home in Peru, ME. It was a very rough last day of riding, fighting wind, rain, steep hills, and a loose crank arm that required tightening every 30 minutes. It was a long ride, but is only the first leg in Max's quest for higher education. A huge thank you to everyone who made this trip possible. Please e-mail me with your mailing address so we can send you a sticker and say thanks. Also, keep posting your comments on Max's blog. Keep checking back for the latest updates as Max gets more press coverage and starts the real journey of going back to school. As always, stay tuned and Go Max Go!

Day 22 was Max's toughest day of riding, climbing nearly 1000 feet in elevation in the start of Vermont's Green Mountains. Use the tilt function in Google Earth to see the kind of hills he's dealing with. Speaking of Google Earth, Frank Taylor from gearthblog.com helped me out in getting the network link working to show Max's progress. His site is full of cool stuff and has mentioned Max's story in his latest blog entry. Don't forget to send me your mailing address for a free unicyclemax sticker.

Well after a horrible night camping in a very wet and windy storm topped with hail, everything Max had was soaked. But he was determined to keep going and made it to a place in Middle Haddam, CT where Beryl Thorpe was kind enough to let him crash and dry some things out. He did a radio interview on the side of the road with Gary York from 100.9 WIFM in Alkin, NC. Stickers are in! If you would like a UnicycleMax sticker, just e-mail me with your address.
