Earlena's First Spring Ride

Well, here's a little short highlight from my wife's first ride of the year. Now that the weather has finally broken, she wanted to get that first one in today. Not a fast ride, but a nice easy, slow paced ride.

I would guess that you normally ride past that 15MPH speed limit sign at something over that, ugly speed hump though I would guess the local car suspension shop does a good business. You must have been in the granny to go that slow.... Camera angle seems low, did you move the camera?

Yeah, I moved the camera. It is hung below the aerobar now to move it back toward the stem to eliminate as much as the wobble as I can. In the tip of the aerobar, the camera is a bit over a foot in front of the pivot point, vs. a few CM where it's at now.

Good quality for recording from a bike. I never messed around on 38 when I was in Lafayette. I loved riding the country roads south of Lafayette.

I like riding up through the Wildcat Highlands myself.

Good mix of flat and roll for the area, look at the elevation profile.

Neil, I don't wear a kilt riding It might blow up on me.

Earlena's trike now has a handlebar cam as well. I set her up a mount for her minivideocamera
