Expedition
I was just starting out on one of my unicycle rides. I realized that since I'd gotten a later start than usual (woo four day work-week!) the hash point was available. I checked it and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was within unicycle range. It *was* inside the Samsung corporate campus, though. Would I be able to actually reach it? Only one way to find out.
The ride was ... interesting. I usually try to stick to smaller streets on my unicycle (or even bicycle), but to get to the location I had little choice but to follow some major roads. Bike lanes ranged from none, to gutter lane, to slightly wider lane with flex posts that showed signs of being frequently run over. Luckily there were sidewalks for most of it, and few pedestrians using them, so I mostly stuck to those.
The campus turned out to be fenced off, with a guard gate checking IDs at the entrance. I briefly asked if this was authorized personnel only and they said yes. Maybe it would have been possible to talk them into escorting me to the spot or something but I didn't want to bother them, particularly since they seemed fairly busy checking cars that were on their way to work.
On the way home I plotted a more meandering course that took me through some nice nature trails, but also on some even worse roads. You win some you lose some. I also appear to have accidentally stopped my GPS recording on the way back when checking directions. Whoops.
