Finally! A warm day.
“The Loop” is one of those quick “around the block” type of rides I use often to test gear or to clear the head. Having a 50/50 paved/dirt road mix it also offers a nice 1 mile section of trail that seems to always have some mud filled ruts.
Today I was testing the new GoPro Wide video camera. It worked better than expected performing quick adjustments between shade and direct sunlight. The wide angle view seems to distort the speed a bit creating the illusion of going faster than I really was. Believe me, I’m not THAT fast on a 500+ pound bike through the woods.
Gordon,
Perfect. The ribbon of asphlat unwinding before you is captured in a way that explains why we call it therapy. Please forward a copy of the tune and it’s origins. Great job!!
Best Regards,

Hey Gordon,
niiiiice… I originally stumbled in here while checking out your review of the Carbtune tool compared to the ATF Manometer, which I just made and used, myself. I had to check out your GoPro vid, too, since I use one of these as well. curious, did you try the cam on any other helmet positions? in using mine mountain biking with the fellas, I realized that the top of the helmet position doesn’t allow for much definition in the route elevation, so it’s difficult to tell if there are hills or descents coming up, know what I mean? I’ve been toying with the idea of the side mount, or something on the bike, but I don’t much enjoy bike vids through twistys with bike mounted cams, which doesn’t maintain the horizon.
anyway, good stuff, cool site.
later.

I have not tried any other position with the GoPro yet. I will agree with you regarding the depth of field issue. Perhaps I need the GoPro Standard in the tankbag too
