My latest addition. Had a friend with a camera available who was willing to drive ahead of us and setup a few shots.

really liked that, good editing and the use (intentional or not) of focus/outoffocus.

thanks for putting it up.

Thank you and you're welcome. I will claim that SOME of the out off focus shots are intentional. ;) He was shooting with a lens that is meant for distances.

does anyone have any video of road rides they've done, 45+ minutes long? im looking for something i can put on my TV and put the trainer right up to it and somewhat simulate an outside ride. i found a couple on youtube the other night, but the guy recording it had the camera mounted to his helmet, and with looking for cars and checking out the scenery, the constant moving of the image almost made me sick. lol.

What would be really cool is a trainer that could get input from a ride's elevation profile data and adjust the resistance accordingly just as if you're really going up or down hills. I'm sure if it does exist it would be $$$$.

Doesn't the tour de france one do that? I know there's one that you can mount a computer to your actual bike, ride a route that you want, and then put the computer back on the trainer and it adjusts everything as if you were riding that route in person.

Actually the Pro-Form Le Tour de France would probably be the ideal setup as you can load a route off of Google Maps, and it also changes the angle of the whole bike based on inclines or declines up to 20% off horizontal. Pretty slick, but, $1,500.

The problem with using a video to simulate your riding is that you will almost never be going the same speed as the person in the video.

PatrickGSR94 12-16-12 10:08 PM

Wow the wider angle of the camera must really play tricks on the perceived grade of those hills. The steepest I hit near my office is 9-10% and it looks steeper than the 13%-15% you show in your videos there.

You aren't the only one who does that, a.riding friend rates how hard he is working by if he gets to the burping stage. I find I do too sometimes (but nuttin like that, that was a doozey!)
Wink smile and all that

Fun local descent.


Jasper Storm 12-17-12 05:25 AM

Here is a video of a ride I did in September. Nice descent on a near-perfect road.


Yotsko 12-17-12 06:41 AM

I posted this in the cross forum, but may as well post it here too. Video from a cross race a few weeks back.

WOW man that's crazy fast! Lucky you got all those green lights in a row! Did you lose some power meter telemetry or something there towards the end?

Need to change the battery in the hub started going out mid ride.
Yes the lights are mostly green I know the road so after I come around the corner I can see it, stopping isn't any trouble if I need but at that point I know if its a go or not. The other side of this road is faster and just as fun!.

Wicked sick.

djb 12-17-12 08:22 PM

Yotsko, that was nice of the two riders to lose their front ends for you.
that was fun watching, but I gotta ask, did you manage to snag second at the line, couldnt tell if you did or not (that was for second no?)

nice vid. am i the only one that seems to hit the onshore headwind coming down hawthorne? even with all the beers drunk/weight gained doesn't
seem to improve my downhill speed to golden cove.
now crenshaw blvd (through the gorge between pen center & academy hill)...that's a downhill sympathetic to my weight! have gone scary fast through there-too fast.

Nice video!! I had buddies in that race... love the crash at the 4:12 mark... hehehee

I found my camera in a hidden away in a box so I decided to give it some use. Smaller field on this ride because many were racing the Cal-Aggie crit in Davis. Conditions - very windy, cool/not cold. No leg warmers and shed the arm warmers half way through. Camera has some smudges from dampness on the road that was sprayed up. The software was made by a BF member and if could remember who it was I'd give him credit here. Its pretty easy to use. www.suffervision.com

I'm the author of SUFFERvision. BTW, especially for races and group rides you may be interested in the web version of the app (http://suffervision.appspot.com). This is getting more active development (I should say slightly less inactive development) and has a couple of advantages:
  1. Because the overlay is done with html5 instead of encoded in the video there is no loss of quality due to transcoding, so the text remains more legible.
  2. You can interact with the data as you watch (zooming the map, switching between power or course profile views, changing units, etc.)
  3. You can display a dot for everyone who has shared the ride on Strava, yielding a decent representation of the peloton.
  4. You can display progress traversing Strava segments, and compare one segment effort to another (e.g., vs. the KOM).
  5. You can set up overlays for any video you can find on YouTube or Vimeo with any data you can find on Strava or Garmin Connect (and Training Peaks soon). See, for example this one for Stage 3 of the Tour Down Under: http://suffervision.appspot.com/v/284001 (data from Robbie Hunter and Bernard Sulzberger).
  6. If you don't have video you can still display data for a group on a map.
One disadvantage of the web version is that you can't embed an iframe in a forum like this, so here you just have to share links.

Curious, why are some of your vids on YT, but other ones are on Vimeo?

PatrickGSR94 01-29-13 12:37 PM

ah gotcha, didn't realize you posted videos of the same sections of road more than once. I haven't followed this entire thread. :)

PatrickGSR94 02-15-13 03:26 PM

hell yes I love trains :thumb:

djb 03-15-13 11:19 AM

man, shorts and bare arms....high tomorrow is -4c and a few cm s of snow coming, so even though Ive been out once, its still chilly and salt will be back on the roads...gotta wait a bit more.
