Longtime director and founder of the Memphis Unicycle Club, Tommy Thompson, has moved away from the Memphis area. We really miss Tommy. Read Tommy's farewell message.

Our last Thursday evening at Overton Park will be Thursday, October 20. We will be moving back to First Congregational Church on Thursday, November 3.

We are making a temporary change to our winter schedule during February and March 2012. Please see our calendar for a schedule of Thursday evening rides.

Most Saturday mornings, we have a group that rides outdoors. Let us know if you are interested.

Ten members of MUC rode in the Germantown Holiday Parade. The weather was great. As always, MUC was a crowd favorite. Tom and Barret did a great job riding giraffes this year. A parade is not complete without a giraffe unicycle.

Parade activities included uni-spins, one-foot riding, wheel walking and jumping rope. Ronnie, Woodrow and Marquis wowed the crowd with their uni skills. Geneva impressed the viewers as our youngest rider and as she rode along with the uni handlebars.

Woodrow is still teaching and recruiting new riders. Welcome to Mitchell who visited MUC for the first time. Mitchell had been practicing already so by the end of the evening he was riding around the room with ease.

MUC shared the room at First Congregational Church with a large youth group from the Denver area. Many of the kids gave unicycling a try. Pete was busy giving unicycling lessons. Thanks Pete.

Hugh provided details of our route with data from his GPS.

MUC had another first-time visitor Thursday evening at Overton Park. Kathy came with her very own unicycle. She has already been practicing on a tennis court and we were able to give her a few more tips to help her along. Good Luck Kathy! Keep turning that wheel.

Pete continues to make progress. He is riding comfortably around Veterans Plaza and can even ride across the field. Way to go Pete.
