If you're feeling like doing something a little challenging this year, how about unicycling through South-Western China?
Ken Looi is organising the Yunnan Unicycle Tour (aka Yunnanuni), in the mountains near Tibet. Participants will be riding from the Tibetan town of Shangri-La, through a few mountain passes and finishing at the Tiger Leaping Gorge above the Yangzi River. It's going to be pretty mountainous but with lots of amazing scenery.
If you're interested, check out the Yunnanuni website.

Included: support vehicles, local guide, tour leader, most meals, spare bicycles
