Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I didn't think of exporting it to a csv. I will try that. And I will PM you and let you know when I have posted a link to it, so you know. Though I believe you need 50 posts to PM.

Is there any way that you can get the actual start time of the video? Seems like you'd be able to sync up the video and data automatically that way.

Only if your camera had built in GPS like the Contour or possibly an I-phone.

The desktop app can automatically sync based on the timestamp of the video file (assuming it's accurate and you haven't touched it). This works pretty well, although I find my Contour has a decent amount of clock drift, so I need to set the clock periodically or only use it for a rough sync. Unfortunately, once you've uploaded to youtube I don't think there's any timing metadata available.

Can you do a rough sync as suggested and then manually fine tune it? I am assuming you can cut and edit out parts as well right? This would all take re-syncing.

Certainly, you can fine tune after an auto-sync, and if you do your editing within the tool then you only sync once.

Here's a fun one:

Simon Gerrans Milan San Remo

Since the actual power file hasn't been shared, I wrote some code to scrape the power, time, distance, elevation from charts found on www.srm.de, then joined this with GPS data from Taylor Phinney's ride on Strava. The sync is not perfect, but it's good enough to match most of the action.

Do you mean that the desktop app looks at the file modification date of the video file, or the start time record contained in the file? Maybe I'll write a quick 'n dirty to set the mod times of all my video clips to be the same as their actual recording start, as the file timestamp changes once I copy them from my GoPro.

It looks at the file modification time, which should be equal to the time when the recording ended. The timestamp may be preserved if you move the file off the camera instead of copying it. Anyway, if you touch the file to set the mod time, make sure you set it to the time when recording started + the duration.

OK, it turns out that while my creation date is newer, my file modification time is already what it should be. But I'm not sure what should get the desktop app to sync with my .fit file...the Sync button? It didn't seem to do anything...?

Are you being chased by a chainsaw-wielding lunatic in the early part? :-D

Not quite cobblestones but that is a cool video. Did you have multiple cameras or just switch position every so often?

I did that climb seven times with the Contour mounted in various positions.

I bought a nifty iPod mount from Best Buy and set my iPod up on the handlebars. I went out on an hour-and-half ride, but only the first 50 minutes were actually recorded. When I got off my bike I saw that the iPod said something to the effect of "only 20% batter power left," which i assume is why the camera stopped recording.

Which is silly. Would anyone happen to know how to override this 20% power switch so that the camera won't stop recording? Is there a way to tweak the camera so that it won't stop until the juice runs out?

Man, talk about torture going up. Much better going down. Thanks for the ride.

A typical morning commute in the mountains. This is part of the short route as I wanted to get to work early and make coffee

42 mph at the fastest (not on the MUP).


Cheap ($14) and shaky camera, and sorry for the spitting at the end. Miller moth season here, and they are all over us.

Here's a time-lapsed video I shot of a recent century I did. The Mount Laguna Bicycle Classic.

https://www.adventurecorps.com/mlbc/index.html


The event consists of 3 ascents up the same mountain, taking a different route for each ascent. Each "loop" gets progressively harder and steeper.

The video encapsulates the first climb and descent, and start of the 2nd ascent. Approximately 2.5 hours condensed into 13 minutes.

I shot this yesterday with a ContourGPS cam.
I wanted to see how the shots would come out
without using any mounts, just handheld.
