The Fireweed returned this weekend after a four-year hiatus, with the One-Wheel Wonders' team of unicyclists joining the 200-mile road bike race from Sheep Mountain Lodge to Valdez.
A team of unicyclists were set to participate in Saturday's Fireweed road bike race. In this photo, Stolf Short takes a selfie, with Ben Richardson, left and Isaac Preston during a group ride. Among the participants making the 200-mile ride from Sheep Mountain Lodge, near Matanuska Glacier, to Valdez is a group of unicyclists from Anchorage who go by the name of the One-Wheel Wonders.
At first, about 10 people showed interest before the list was whittled down to the seven unicyclists who make up the current team. Race director and vice president Sarah Radonich has been on the board since 2014 and said they don’t restrict how groups run their relays, so they can swap out as often and however many times as they’d like — although they’re allowed to cross the finish line just one at a time.
The team’s tentative plan was to swap out every 5 to 10 miles, although in some sections they’ll have no choice but to ride for longer. “We’re not really trying to compete for any time or anything like that,” he said. “We just kind of want to just do the thing.”Radonich had received a call from the organization’s director and president, Sara Wendling, around this time last year about preparing for the return of the race after Wendling’s father, Shawn Wendling, passed away.
