Unicyclists on the Gulf Coast?

Is anyone from the Gulf Coast of the U.S.?

Do you know anything about any unicycle events on the coast?

I know two unicyclists from Pensacola, but neither of them lives there anymore. One of them lives in Georgia and started a company called Unicycle.com.

Also there used to be a unicycle club in Mobile, AL but the family who ran it moved to Auburn, AL. They hosted the USA Nationals in 1989.

I know it was only those who rode giraffe unicycles who were able to use unicycles to escape from Hurricane Katrina.

there are no interesting unicyclist gatherings on the gulf coast anywhere, but if you ever come to texas (near me), i'm down for a ride.

I live on the gulf coast in the panhandle of FL. But that's kinda far from where you are.

Come to the west coast and ride over two bridges and a beautiful view of the Gulf of Mexico. Bikinis and the foxy women who are half naked.

Son of a b. . .I just moved away from Corpus Christi a while back. Never even SAW a unicyclist while I was living there on The Island.

Lived in P'cola, too. Again, no unis except my own.

If you wanna drive to St. Aug, we seem to be having something of a regular weekend meetup here.
