What makes this trip special?
After a bit of a break the unicyclists are back in Asia! Cambodia will be our destination for 2019 which takes Ken and Jason back to where it all began 14 years ago when Ken joined a group of cyclists that Jason was leading.
Cambodia is a land of contrasts, from the majesty of the Angkor temples to the simple villages, the tragedy of the 1970s and 80s to the fun and vibrant people that you'll meet today, and the rice fields, beaches and forests that you ride through.
Take in a large part of the country with a mix of day rides and point to point full day rides.
Stay in a great mix of nice hotels and simple guesthouses.
Stop in the small villages that we encounter on our rides as well as stay in the bustling capital Phnom Penh.
And of course the unicycling! If you don’t ride a unicycle and would like to come along then do join us! Unicyclists go at a slower pace to regular tours but they are lots of fun to ride with and the entertainment factor for locals is worth seeing. Get in touch if you have any questions.

Trail Conditions
Most of what we will ride is flat so gear your unicycle appropriately. There will be some hills on a couple of days but in general prepare for flat riding.
Road conditions are pretty good but potholes are not unusual. The main roads that we do sometimes ride are not busy but they do carry some large vehicles.
The final day of riding in Kirirom National Park will take us on a mountain biking trail.
