Awesome videos, but your captions could be subject to misinterpretation by some to the deviant minds here.

I know this video is 2 years old, but at the start of the video, is that where you lived? If so, that is my street.

Here's a short steep kicker that always hurts so good because it's always near the end of the ride after all the big climbs are done! This time I modified the default gauge in DashWare. I removed the power gauge since I don't own a power meter, and I changed the heart rate readout from red to yellow to make it easier to read.

Here's a descent from the same group ride.


Here's the climb back out of that canyon.



I know this one is a mtb climb, but this demonstrates the additional features of the current version of DashWare. All the previous videos were created with a version that was several years old, so it didn't have as many default gauges to choose from. It also didn't encode at bitrates higher than 10000kbps. My new GoPro Hero3+ records at 15000kbps at 720p 60fps. The current version of DashWare encoded this at over 17000kbps, so the quality of the edited version is slightly better, at least on the file that's stored on my hard drive. YouTube probably dumbed it down so it looks just like the first two videos.

Since my mountain bike doesn't have a speed/cadence sensor, I didn't use my modified default speed/cadence/heart rate gauge. I modified the low-speed dial gauge instead. I removed the gray and black background. This looks better and allows the scenery to show through. I also changed the color of the digital readout from red to yellow to make it easier to read at lower resolutions and screen sizes. The rest of the gauges are unmodified default ones except the distance one, which is a simple text gauge I made.

Thank you :) Make sure it went through though, as the number of subscribers shown never increased and I never got the email notification. YouTube can be buggy.

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.

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.

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 :)
