ride as often as you can. The more you ride the more endurance you build up and the farther you can go. Also depends on your unicycle though. a cheap learner unicycle will not be comfortable to ride more than a few miles. Back on topic. The farthest I have ridden is 65 miles on my 36" uni

use the search function : P

lol, I wouldn't be worried about distances right now if you started a few days ago, build up some skills first, and do some forum hunting. . . . then go get a 36er and take to the streets (or MUPs) : P

right now you're probably still putting a lot of weight on the pedals, try putting a little more weight on the seat, and you should be able to get a little farther . . . it was a problem when I first started anyway. It also helps to raise the seat to as high as you can and still ride comfortably. Other than that, just keep plugging at it.

I haven't done more than 20 miles at a time on my 36er, but that's about to change. I'm planning an 80 mile ride very soon, as soon as the weather warms up a bit. The silver comet is AWESOME for stuff like that. I may even make it a 100 mile ride just to say I've done it. : )

I've done 250 miles on a five day trip- most days averaged to about 65 miles, except for the climbs and the last day. We were riding in California from South Lake Tahoe to San Francisco. Believe you me, it's awesome to literally ride across the state.
