OMG. Girl you are very very brave. I just don't have any words to say about such a ride. Amazing what you all do with 2 wheels.Quote:

You do get better at looking around, but still need to keep the focus on the trail :) What does happen is that you start enjoying the trail more as you get more relaxed. One of the secrets is to look ahead, pick your line and not concentrate on the stuff that is already under your wheels.Quote:

I'm always taking the video, so I only have video of my family while they are cycling. Now crying, that I could get you some footage of. :D
we made a video. I have to figure out how to share it. It's just a casual ride :)
Cool :) You can use Vimeo.com just make a free account, upload your video and place the link here ;)Quote:

i have youtube but can't figure out how to get it uploaded. my husband put it on a DVD for me but I can't figure how to save it in my computer. And it's a mac. Sure, should do everything but spit 100 dollar bills. Ya right.
Bellissima, great video. Where is this trail? I also live in southern CA.Quote:

It was too high and pointed to one side, which caused almost all the footage to be useless.

Here's the only footage from the Contour that was viewable. This is me living up to my username by climbing a 100% grade-of the artificial rock type. :p:D This was at the Folsom Cyclebration cycling expo in Folsom City Park.
