The Uninam riders arrived safely in Ho Chi Minh City last night, the official finish of the tour.  It was a tough tour, but we had a fantastic time...

From the sweat, saddle sores and scorching heat; to the sight of kids chasing us across Vietnam....it was certainly an event to remember.  Thanks to all 26 riders from 7 countries for making such a ridiculous concept possible.  What a sight it was to have you riding through Vietnam on one wheel!  It was a pleasure to have been part of it all.

Updates of the final two days will be available shortly.

Hi everyone,

The tour is well underway and the riders are having a great time!  We've just had a rest day in Hoi An and will be riding to Qaung Ngai tomorrow.

Please check out our tour blog and leave us a message...the riders check it regularly!

Only two days before The Uninam Unicycle Tour officially starts. 

I'm in the airport waiting for my plane to Bangkok and Hanoi right now, so I just want to wish everyone a safe journey.  See you on Sunday!

Ken

Best wishes to Hien Tran, one of our US riders who is holding a fundraising film screening weekend in support of our tour charity OXFAM.
