Default A few videos from yesterdays ride

Had a fun little ride on the playground yesterday evening before the sun went down.... headed up NC 226A which is always a favorite cuz it's soooo empty every time. I wanted to come back down NC 80 which is another favorite, but it was starting to get dark so I just came back down the same way. I don't haul *** on the street so it's not a fast knee dragging kind of ride, just having fun at a safe reasonable pace and working on my body positioning and trying some new stuff I learned sitting in on one of Lee Parks "Total Control" classes last weekend (hence I got the wiggles a few times, and missed my lines a few times too trying different things, lol)

I was playing around with my GoPro camera since I haven't used it in awhile, and trying it in a few different spots on the bike. I think I like this one...

Going up the mountain (the really good part of the road starts about 1/3 or so of the way into the vid)
‪NC 226A going up‬‏ - YouTube

And coming back down
‪NC 226A headed down‬‏ - YouTube

This is why I loooooooove living here where I do so much =)

Nice vids, Jared. Those gopro setups do seem to work really well. I've only done vids with a flip taped to the grab bar. lol...

Hahaha that's the Sunoco gas station right across from the post office, right?? I just filled up with gas there last night, LOL. I'll PM you my contact info... def give me a ring whenever and we can meet up, I'm always down for a ride or even lunch/dinner. I don't really know anybody around my area so I enjoy meeting new people, haha. Small world indeed!
