Sounds like you learned a lot; sounds pretty successful to me. My father and I took a 640 mile bike trip through New England when I was 17. The first try he ended up with crippling knee pain after the first day, so we had to get a ride back. About 6 weeks later, smarter and in better shape, we started again and completed the trip.

I'm looking forward to your description of Attempt #2!

I might be doing this trip for the now mandatory graduation project at my school. Probably next summer.

If you want any help with your planning let me know...I had quite a lot of planning involved and know a lot about the trails now hah.

I still hope to do this ride sometime in the future, but not before I cross off the full length of Skyline Drive from my list and Ride The Lobster.

My advice is not to put any weight on your unicycle if you do the trip. I really do think this was the cause of the knee pain.
