yep, shows you under my Subscribed list.

Here are a few I've made. Mine are much less techinical as I don't do any formal group rides and I mostly put these together for the people I ride with.

I'm using a Contour Roam. I think the GoPro has the Contour beat in picture quality. Also being directly mounted on the bars I get some vibrations.

Woods Valley Road - Inland North County San Diego. One of my favorite streches to ride.


Downhill into San Pasqual Valley. I can never break 40mph!


Some highlights from a ride last month. Valley Center/Lilac Rd./Couser Canyon/Bonsall. Couser Canyon is like cycling mecca in this area. It's the downhill starting @ 1:10.

Hey I saw you posted a couple of YT vids after the hard crash one. Have you ridden since then or were those just other previous rides? I haven't had a chance to watch them yet.

Ive been trying to figure out a way to mount my camera to my bike frame on the neck tube.
I like the videos but I dont like how the Helmet and handlebar mounts move so much. I want to video the road ahead of me not where my helmet to handlebars point. It makes it kind of a dizzying view.

No one thing seems to be perfect but a combination of things built together would suffice.
If I was just an engineer with a manufacturer in my back pocket, I might be able to manage it!

The gopro handlebar/seatpost mount might work depending on how big your head tube is. Could also try the helmet mount wrapped around the head tube, although it might bounce around a lot. I used the helmet mount for awhile on my bars but it bounced a lot.

For me, the k-edge mount solved all my problems. It still attaches to the handlebars but its rock solid and I don't notice a lot of camera shake. Haven't taken it out on the mtb yet tho.

Unfortunately the neck tube is just too thick. Ive tried standard mounts, brackets, straps, zipties and collar clamps.
Nothing is 100%. I swear if I could just have the resources at my finger tips, I could create the perfect all in one mount.

I am riding a charity event this weekend and I borrowed my friends Hero3. I am excited to get some video, hopefully I can get a good video and post it up here. The ride doesn't look like it goes anywhere super interesting, but I will see what I can get. I also ordered a K-Edge mount...it should arrive today!

Hey now, mile 50 goes right by my house! Haha, I said the same thing - "oh, we're doing the same roads I ride daily, fun..."

If the wind continues to be out of the north like it has the last few days, I think we'll appreciate the mostly East/West direction of the route. Deer Valley and Happy Valley are pretty boring, but going around Deems, Vistancia, and West Wing isn't too bad - all are nice neighborhoods with giant bike lanes. The ride up to Anthem will have some easy climbing which will most likely be into the wind. I rode up that way last weekend and the climb up into the wind was slow going, but coming back down was a blast. Nothing beats going down hill with the wind at your back. I ran out of gears and pedaled out a couple of times. After Anthem, we'll come down Dove Valley/Sonoran Pkwy, which is a beautiful new road with giant bike lanes and low traffic - open desert to the south and mountains to the north. It's a very scenic road and will be a pleasure at the end of the ride.

I'm bringing my gopro as well and have about 3 hours worth of batteries. I think I might just do photos at the beginning, maybe one every minute or so to try to save battery life, then save my last two batteries for the last two hours of the ride.

Also, the K-Edge gopro mount is the best.

Yea I have never rode in that area. So I am excited to hear you say there is some nice scenic roads.

My wife & I are doing a 100 mile tour around Lake Michigan in June. It starts in DT Chgo, rides around and even over the lake, up and over to New Buffalo MI. Im really excited to video that ride and the scenery we will experience.
Like these accross the lake:

Loved that this video faced backwards as so many of the videos are facing forward. Very cool.

With that said, I realize that facing backwards is probably only a good idea when there are lots of riders behind you. Otherwise it would have been less interesting

How'd your day go? Do you have the team color EVO, I'm pretty sure I went by you at one point. We were hustling, finished the century in 5 hours.

Thanks, I worked a little harder that day to make sure i got some footage.

Just got me a GoPro Hero2 for cheap. Set up the helmet mount at too low of an angle for an aero tucked descent position, with my head pointed down-this is the result, a frame full of road. Ruined what would have been a sweet video otherwise. Back to the drawing board...

Just got GPS overlay working with Virb Edit, pretty stoked with it. This video is descending GMR, ~9 miles and 2250ft elevation loss. Pretty fast run, less than 2 minutes off the KOM

Nicely done! I am impressed by how far you lean in the turns!

Thanks! Fresh rubber makes a huge difference
