[Ride-A-Lot]

I had such a good time on Thursday I went back again today. Even after
the rain it drains very well. I can't get enough of this close-by rocky
climbing punishment. It's too bad the camera doesn't show the rocks better.

Not a big fan of MM. Just like that tune and all the angst at the end.

Camera just doesn't show the rocks well from the helmet cam angle nor
does it show how steep the climbs and descents are. I was really trying
to show that I *DO* ride rocks. Drops are another story .

HEY, I resemble that remark.....

Good stuff Mitch. You looked like you had two cameras on, what was on the
right side, counter balance? Who was the other camera person?

and what's with all the clothing? <VBG>

Your hikers are just as stupid as ours.....walking on the right, hear a bike
coming and cross over the trail to get out of the way...duh!

Gary (yea, I rode once last week)

The counter balance is an ankle weight ziptied to the helmet. Roger, is
holding my other camera, so yeah it was a two camera shoot. An
experiment that worked, though he complained about doing it the whole
time. I made him ride ahead and film me since I knew he wasn't going to
do any technical downhill with speed. Sure, let the old guy do it.

Temp at start time was 39F. Warmed to 50F at finish.

But they were OK with it since we kept leapfrogging them.
