Vid I took Saturday last week (April 24th):


Tech details: Camera - drop mounted GoPRO HD @720P 30 FPS setting, Telemetry overlay app - homebrew which I am still working on when I find the time. It can display power info too but I don't have a sensor for power right now.

Nice video! Looks like it was an awesome ride! Re: the homebrew app... I hope your actual heart wasn't beating as erratically as the flashing heart appears to be indicating! :D

Thanks Bean, the beauty of that ride is that it happens every Sat, Sun, and holidays, year round (including winter). All you have to do is show up assuming you know the risks involved in doing so. The heart animation is one of the things I need to work on next :)

thanks. these videos very cool you guys are movin'

This thread is some of the best motivation to ride that bf has ever provided. Thanks to all the videographers!
I think I will do a third 60+ mile day in your honor. THIS THREAD ROCKS.

Great thread guys!!!!!!!

The missus had to rescue me once in the living room - watching a Giro stage, lots of descending, one guy cornering like he's on a motorcycle, body over the side of the bike, knee out, etc. I was like, "Hm, would that really work?" BANG. I was on the floor. Couldn't unclip fast enough, the missus (well, the future missus at the time) came running in. Saw me sprawled on the floor. Couldn't unclip, couldn't reach my feet, couldn't back pedal because bike was still on trainer. She had to hammer on my shoes to help me get up. Heh.

No ride videos for a bit. I have a lot of stuff to go through.

The Donut Ride! Legendary. And Jesus Mohammed, what a pace. What was the overall average speed?

The average speed for that ride was about 30 kph though it includes the 18 kms or so pedaling in a leisurely pace getting to/from the rendezvous place from my home and also the stop and go during the Donut Ride while in the city limits. I am just glad to be able to keep up (most of the time) with the guys that do the 15th Side road route. I still struggle whenever I attempt to do the longer 17th Side road route... I always get dropped in the hills.

Here is a video I took last January where I got dropped in one of those hills (the guy leading the charge up those hills is riding a fixie):

Quite frankly there is too much freaking data there for my taste. I mean, don't get me wrong. Nice videos, lots of time spent editing/uploading, great scenery, nice rides, etc. However, looking at all the tachometers/gauges is too distracting.

BTW, how long does it take you guys to upload videos in HD to youtube? I just uploaded a family video that was 9:30 or so and it took like 30 min to upload on an internet cable connection. 45 min later, it is still not processed by youtube, so it looks like crap despite the HD format.


This has got to be the one video that has the least amount of shaking and moving despite the camera position. Could you please post a picture of how you have your camera attached to the drops?

Here's a video from Saturday's Cat's Hill Classic with telemetry:

And another from Sunday's NCNCA Masters District Crit:

Pic was taken last Winter hence the mudguards.

One of my teammates had linked to one of your videos from a few weeks ago. What are you using to overlay the data?

Very nice!

Personally, I love to see the wattage and grade info. The blue bar on the left is one of the least intrusive ways to see the power.
Some impressive numbers there!

I've rolled my own software to overlay the telemetry. I probably would have used dashware or trackvision if I had been aware of them when I started, but now I'm happy that I've gone this route as I can display exactly the data that's of most interest to me without obscuring too much of the video. Further, I can plug an Ant+ USB stick into my laptop and display realtime HR and power data as well, which allows me to watch my races and reproduce the efforts on the trainer.

cool videos.

was that the M45 race? we were kicking back near the start/finish drinking beer and grilling BBQ between races. fun day of racing.

Great first posts there - I made a decision after yesterdays brush with catastrophic stupidity to put away 20 bucks a week. Hopefully around this time next year I'll get some shmancy fancy wheel with a powertap device. I'll stick with my current Cateyes for now and just buy the whole thing at once. Hate to invest in a G500 now only to find the 7 on sale later :/ plus the added... no killer ability that would actually make those videos cool looking.

That was the 40+ race. I could smell that BBQ at the start line. Definitely a fun day.

Here is the video from my race on Sunday. I edited it down to a nice and tidy 10 minutes for youtube consumption. This was supposed to be 5 laps of a roughly 15 mile circult for 75 miles, but stupidly I attacked a few minute into the first lap to try to bridge to a break of 3 up the road. I was joined by another guy and kept going way harder than I should have and was subsequently dropped shortly after the group caught me. It was a monumentally stupid move, but it was fun.

Some really cool videos posted in here! that said, here's an unspectacular video from a ride I did this past weekend. My favorite sequence is the footage shot at the 7K elevation point. It was mile 70 or so (and over 10K climbed) for most of the cyclists, and it pretty much showed with everyone's pace, which if they were going more than 6mph at that point, they were flying!

These umd's videos were good and keep getting better.
The commentary helps to get a real feeling for the race. I can almost feel your pain!

I concur, pretty awesome.

KABLAMO! funny!

I took my first video today and checkout the ****** at 9:30.
