With such a short time to train, I had to focus mainly on the basics, such as balance and mounting, leaving little time to work on things like stamina or hills! Arriving in Amsterdam, I felt under prepared, a little overwhelmed, and very nervous at the massive challenge in front of me.

I really wanted to start and finish at exciting locations, so I began in Amsterdam's red light district, with the goal of ending up at the Eiffel Tower in Paris ten days later. This was the biggest physical challenge I have ever taken on, and it pushed my limits further than I could ever have imagined. Somehow, despite my lack of experience, I completed the trip, with amazing support throughout from my family, friends, and boyfriend, and also with a unicycle and some brilliant advice from unicycle.uk.com! The days of this adventure were some of the toughest but also most memorable of my life, with adventures including accidentally unicycling onto the motorway, and spontaneously becoming an official endorsement person for a Dutch energy drink!
