Always great watching a new rider grow !
My story starts with my old running partner from 7th and 8th grades. I found him on facebook two years ago and we decided meet up and go out to breakfast a few times during that first year. Well we had a killer winter of snow and I was posting photos of my driveway after every storm with not a flake of snow on it. I kept begging for more snow. So Dave said that if I stop challenging Mother Nature he would go on a ride with me. I took him up on it, and this was the route we did. Now 8 rides later no walking up the hills or losing breakfast. Great job Dave it's been a blast sharing this great sport with you.

Is your camera mounted on your helmet?

Are you using a Go-pro? Nice video, wish I had someone close to me I could ride with. As it is I do all my rides solo.

I'm using the GoPro Hero4 Silver. Dave's new to cycling, but he comes from an active running background so endurance is there. Working on his handling skills, and overall riding technics. Being that we can't get together but once a week on Saturday, I send him home with cycling homework to work on during the week. I spend about half our rides behind him so I can watch his riding, and at rides end we go over what his weeks homework will be. He's picking up thing pretty quick, and enjoying it so I'm hoping to have a long term riding partner.

Sounds like a cool time all around. I want to get a Go-pro myself eventually, they really take great video.
