Hi Josh,

Thanks for sharing. I thought the production of the video was really excellent; showed a lot of hard work. I thought there were a lot of nice bits in the narration as well -- I especially enjoyed the opening, when you contrasted the difference between traveling by car and traveling by bike. A couple of other scenes were nice as well -- particularly --

- in a couple of cases, where you captured the sounds of bike tires on pavement
- the scene coming into town on a cobble-stone road
- the scene in Krakow where you start with the candyfloss confection inside a bakery and then pan back to show the plain exterior of the building.

The film does leave the impression that you did a lot of biking at night, and that on many evenings you guys biked into the night before you stopped. Is that true? That would make me grumpy, and tired, as well.

One more thing about the film -- your narration is very flat and monotone. Again, if you were doing that for effect, that's OK, but I'll bet with a more practiced and rehearsed approach to the narration the film would leave a different impression.
Also, the overall impression of the film is that you guys didn't have a good time. The film ends in a pretty dark place. If that's what you intended to portray, you did a good job.

Overall I enjoyed watching this; a very interesting way to portray a bike tour.
