4/29/2009 Columbus, OH (1.0 miles) – Near MLK Performing Arts Complex

Published on June 19, 2012 By Mophe

As I drove down I71 a couple of guys took a second look at the clown driving on the freeway. They had really big smiles as I went by. The rain cleared so I decided to stop off over near the Martin Luther King Jr. Complex. Everyone was really nice in the neighborhood — smiling […]

4/27/2009 Hilliard, OH (5.5 miles) – Around Hilliard, Old Towne and New

Published on June 14, 2012 By admin

It was 87 degrees and sunny today. The heat concerned me, but I held up fine. It could be because of all the wind. It seemed like 10-15 miles per hour. And boy was I getting a bad hair day. Luckily I wear a helmet. But it was rough pulling the hair out of my face […]

3/27/2009 Newark, OH (8.5 miles) – Longest ride to date

This was the longest ride I’ve taken at one time to date — 8.5 miles. I did take a mini-break to eat a couple of sandwiches and drink water. You’ve got to take care of yourself during long exercise events so you don’t dehydrate or get low blood sugar. I am starting to get a […]

3/19/2009 Extra Thought

Published on May 26, 2012 By Mophe

I have really been humbled by the mime experience. There are many times that people treat me different because I don’t speak. Not big things — mostly they just don’t know what to do since they cannot communicate with me in the normal way. They don’t know I am a mime and think I just […]

3/14/2009 2.0 miles, St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Memphis, TN

Published on May 14, 2012 By Mophe

Hi there, It’s me Mophe. Wow – what a great day! I’ve clowned around before — dressed up and road my unicycle — but I’ve never been a mime. It adds a whole new dimension to clowning. But I’m getting ahead of myself. On the way to the parade a car zooming passed me on […]
