The
TOque (TOronto
Quixotic Unicycle
Exhibition)
Games turned
out to be a huge success! 35 competitors
from North America came out to Toronto to participate in a
first-of-its-kind event. The
results are up and so are some pictures ... mine,
Brian's.
Thanks to all who participated! Next year it will be even
bigger and better.
The
TOque (TOronto
Quixotic Unicycle
Exhibition)
Games is going
to be 3 solid days of nothing but fun Trials, UMX and other
unicycling events to be held in conjunction with the 2003
Toronto International Bike Show (February 28 - March 2,
2003). This is a great venue for showcasing and growing the
sport of unicycling. Large crowds always attend and previous
years have seen many people take up unicycling as a result
of seeing them at the show.
It
does not matter if your just starting out to ride or if you
have been riding for years ... you should come out and participate
in the fun events. If you are a little more serious then you
should go ahead and register for the Trials & UMX competitions.
Here
are some pictures from last years Bike Show ...
