    My Deathride experience, the video!

    My boyfriend compiled this for me:
    http://vimeo.com/5609038

    Luckily, he didn't include the segment where I was cussing and swearing at him, but you get the general idea.

    -- gnat! (wow, I really do rock my upper body when I climb...)

    That's great video gnat. The clarity of the moving shots are impressive and good editing job. If your boyfriend did the shooting and editing of this video of you, it really is a true act of love.

    So he was on the bike too when you were filmed cyling on the bike???

    It's a wonderful visual record of your accomplishment..and his also.

    Video, most excellent. That is very cool. I'm tired just watching. Heck, I was tired when you were driving up a hill in your car. Congrats on the great accomplishment!

    Hey, that's fabulous.

    that is incredible. How DID he do it?

    And how do you ride and not look all sweaty? Serious. That and your cheerfulness, swearing aside.

    That is a fantastic video, thanks for sharing.

    Fun video. Great job! I also can't believe you did 129 miles on what looked like a Specialized Toupe saddle. My butt would have been screaming from the saddle at that distance.

    What a great gift- to commemorate such a monumental occasion on video (I like when you said: "now I never have to do that again.")
    You look great on video- even after climbing ginormous mountains! Congrats!!!

    What a great video! I'd already seen Raleighdon's videos and his friend's videos, but yours is great, with narration, continuity. How DID your boyfriend do that? Must not have been his first death ride.
    You're a really strong rider. COngrats!!

    Great job... you go GF! Umm, here in the midwest we don't have such things. I was just watching the background of the mts thinking... hmm, how much climbing... then the punch line came up at the end. Whoa. OH... my favorite grin getter is the bar tape "I EAT HILLS". Thx for the inspiration... think I feel a 'tape tat' coming on for my roadie girl... well, with lil hills we have here anyway lol.
