My Uncle and I completed a 33 mile ride from Christoval to San Angelo going through Knickerbocker, a couple small towns out here in West Texas. The morning started off with the valve stem blowing out of one of my front tubes when I was doing pre ride air ups. Had to change the tube, and other than this little incident the ride went really smooth. This is combined footage of mine and my Uncles cameras. We used Go Pro Heros, I edited it with iMove '09. It isn't the best movie ever made, but this was my third attempt playing with iMove and I feel it was pretty good. Started out at 62.6 degrees and ended up at 91.4, the day grew hotter, all the way up to 109, thankfully we were done way before that happened. Our average speed was 13.3 mph and we climbed 656 feet throughout the ride, we are pretty flat here compared to some on the forums. I rode my Catrike Expedition and my Uncle rode his Raleigh Talus 29 Comp with a smoother street tire. We are both Clyde's and started cycling regularly back in July. It's good to have a buddy that pushes you to keep going and hold you accountable for cutting the weight. So far I am down 25lbs and am really enjoying riding. Hope everyone enjoys the video, thanks for watching.

Congrats on both the weight loss and the ride. doing that distance in Texas summer heat is a pain - just as it is where I live, Louisiana.

Great video. Was your camera hand held for the entire ride allowing you to film different positions while on the trike?

Yes it was, I can hold it pretty easy. My Uncle gave me the Xshot extension pole he was using in the video, I played with it a bit today and am looking forward to shooting some rides with it.

Looks like a nice ride- and very little traffic... wish there was some distance-travelling roads here in NE Florida with that little traffic!!
