Post a video of you while cycling

**tytbody** · 09-14-2011, 05:08 PM

i'm frustrated all ready trying to change my avatar. I've made it 1" and it still will not show up correctly. The one that is appearing, I've deleated it and it still shows up. I don't get it. I have a vimeo account but never used it.

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.

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.

WOW! EEK! I can't imagine doing that. The edge drops scare me. Michigan is flat compared to this. You are a brave lady

It took me a long time before I could stop looking at the sides of the cliff on rides like this

The video looks worst than it is anyways

While watching the video I noted that there seemed to be a good amount of growth between the trail and actual edge - I would find that comforting

We certainly don't have trails with THIS kind of exposure in central Indiana, but am getting better at focusing on the trail itself and ignoring what isn't the trail.

At some point are you able to enjoy the scenery and still focus on the trail/obstacles? I assume the answer is yes

HOW can you if you might hit a rock? or even a branch.. ?????

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.

I am working on this now

Body awareness seems to be my biggest challenge right now, but that will come with more practice...and my trainer has already changed my workouts after our ride this weekend.

Here's yesterday's climbs. I managed to find four roads in Folsom and El Dorado Hills that I haven't shown yet. I had to use the footage from the handlebar-mounted Kodak Playsport because of an incorrect angle on the Contour's helmet mount. 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.

This was at the Folsom Cyclebration cycling expo in Folsom City Park.

I can finally post to this thread! I would never have expected this to be the first video of me riding, but here I am trying downhill for the first time (I'm the middle one):

It was an absolute blast! 6 women friends, all beginners. My dh was there too with a bunch of his friends, all beginners there too. The video is pretty un-exciting, of an easy stretch, but it was all I could convince my dh to stop and get of us. He won the camera tug-of-war.

He says I look like I'm riding a million miles an hour all the time, I say it's because sooner or later I will be

@luv2climb, Even with the "slower bike" you are passing riders! At least you had a backup camera. I remember one time when we climbed this really long technical hill in order to film the downhill. But when we got to the bottom we noticed that the camera died at the begining of the video

@lph You do look fast

Were was this video made?
