My Deathride experience, the video!

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.

It was indeed. Tho at the time, when he kept dropping me and zooming off into the distance, I got really mad at him. I didn't know he was going to do that much filming and not so much of the real-time conversation. At the time, I almost killed 'im. Now, I'm grateful for the video evidence!

But yes, he's a superstrong rider himself. He finished the Transrockies MTB race, consistently does well in crits, and a mere week after Deathride he's off to France for Tour l'Etape to go cruise up Mount Ventoux. Yowza. I feel like I've finally hit the point of fitness where I can just roll out of bed and ride a relatively flat century, but I have yet to get to where I can do something like Deathride with no warning, and one-handed to boot.

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments! Now go write your favorite mantra on your handlebar tape (it's like a temporary tattoo)!

Yowza indeed!!

Any chance he'll be filming his l'Etape experience? If so, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love a link to that.

I can't see the video on my Linux machines.

Sound like you had a blast on the Death ride. WAYYY TOOO GOOO!!!

[jobob]

Well then SC you'll just have to do it with me next year.

Neat video, and great job on the ride! I'm from the Midwest, too, so those kinds of rides are totally impressive.

I love your attitude! As someone else mentioned, you smiled the whole way!

Congratulations on your ride... it looked like fun! Hard fun, but still fun.
Thanks for the movie!

Really cool. BF is nuts on the camera downhill. He must be an amazing rider.
I have friends who did the trans rockies mtb on their tandem.

I think that's a destination ride I want to do
