How Not to Take Ride Videos

I thought myself pretty clever that I’d be taking my digital camera with me today.  Clever beyond all compare, at least until I got onto the bike and realized just how horrible of an idea this had been.  Chris and I did a hill climb day on my favorite local series of hills, went up them 4 times total in an hour.  I’m thinking the only way I’ll get a decent video is if I grab a helmet cam, but I’m not that interested in dishing out the money for one.  Oh well, will just keep trying other things…

An Experiment

I promised that I’d try and get some pictures and/or videos from today’s ride, so I did what I could to deliver.  I apologize for the quality, but it appears I can’t find my digital camera and am thus forced to utilize my cell phone’s camera and camcorder features.

 
Just one of the many straight sections we rode on.  My computer tells me we did a little over 20 miles in an hour and 42 minutes.

 
Chris did a good job making it through the ride.  Not bad for his second real ride since getting a bike.

I tried thinking of something witty to go here, but I’m experiencing the same lack of intelligence I was during the picture.

I have some videos that I took, but after uploading the first to YouTube, I’ve decided that one is enough with the poor quality that they ended up being.

 

More to come tomorrow, we’re doing hill-climbs!
