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 fastWere was this video made?
Ooh, that would be frustrating to find out you lost all your great footage!I started running two cameras ever since I got the Contour. I didn't trust it, especially the first one that ended up being defective and had to be exchanged. The current one works great, but the backup camera is still a good idea due to circumstances like the incorrect camera angle on Saturday's ride.
Yeah, that first climb I seemed to be going faster, over 10 mph on a 5% grade. The other climbs were more than twice as steep, so speeds were probably 4-5 mph.
lph, that looks like a fun downhill! I'd like to climb and descend that!![]()
Here's something I posted to my Facebook profile back during the summer. This is pretty typical of the riding I do. I think I have the permissions set right for everyone to view it.
