2006 Hilly Hundred Video/Slide show -Day One

[pooks]

I love your videos! Are they still frames from actual video footage, or are those made with a still camera? What kind of camera do you use, and do you just read up and click, or use a remote, or...?

Thanks everyone,
Darcy, last year was my second year to go to the Hilly. I rode with a friend, his son and brother on Day 2 and we finished the 40 mile route so I was familiar with it, but we'd gotten an early start, I wasn't alone and knew I didn't have to SAG in. I did SAG in both days last year, but I think if it hadn't been for my foot, I would have gotten farther, but I'm still proud that after that winding hill on Sunday before the rest stop, I didn't do any more walking on the hills. It took me quite some time to get up some of the hills starting and stopping, but I had such a feeling of accomplishment when I rolled into the lunch stop having RIDDEN the whole way from the first stop. My foot felt better too
Pooks, I'm calling them video/slide shows because I'm using Microsoft Movie Maker and Digital still photos. I've got a used Nikon CoolPix 2500 and save the photos to my computer. I like using the Microsoft movie maker because I can lay down my musical track then move my pics around (can only add one or two at a time to get the music transitions correct) I lay the music then add my photos play the video back to check for timing etc and then go on to the next pics until I get it the way I want it to look/sound. It's great to see it come together but WOW, I see how much work goes into editing for movies etc.

I want to thank you all again for looking at my videos and for the wonderful comments. I had fun and I'm planning on more video/slide shows in the future. At least right now it lets me do something to do with my bike even if it's looking at pictures from previous rides. I may come up with something for my birthday metrics or first(s)
