Videos!

Here are some videos that I put together along the way.  They are very random...  but I'll put them in perspective when I post them.

Here's the hail storm I was caught in on my mountain bike in Custer State Park, South Dakota.

Custer Hail Storm

This is the ride I took in Red Canyon, Utah.  This trail is 15 miles from Bryce Canyon and THE BEST single track I've ever ridden.  All told, this ride was 22 miles from start to finish - 8 miles of single track on the Thunder Mountain trail and 14 road miles to the Bryce Canyon Visitor Center.  I've cut this 2 hour 30 minute ride into 25 minutes.  If you're into fantastic scenery, single track mountain biking and 80's metal (this ride just begged for heavy metal!) than this will be 25 minutes of bliss.

Also - I've not included (except for one small part to keep it real) all the walking I had to do at the beginning of the ride.  This was an ascent of 1,500 feet in the first 3 miles.  And with an elevation of over 8,200 feet there were times where I had to sit to just catch my breath.  My Go Pro was mounted to the handlebars and then switched to my seat post.  The handlebar mount is a fantastic view of what is coming, but sometimes bouncy to watch.  Enjoy the ride!

By the way - this video has not been sped up, slowed down or enhanced in any way.

A neat stretch of highway in Oregon that we didn't expect.  I used my Go Pro on a suction cup mount suctioned to the sunroof - worked great!  We were on our way to Craters of the Moon in Idaho.  And yes, I set it to country music.  Shocking, I know.
