    Oh bother... Struggled to even post this, and it's been cropped. I do confess to being rather a luddite.

    These are from my first real mountain bike ride. I was in WAY over my head. In total it was 16 miles with a 2400 feet descent and a 2500 ascent. Sooooo, pretty much straight down then straight up. We ended up hiking the bikes back up the last 4 or 5 miles because I couldn't do the climb and the bf's hub broke. Despite all the the frustration of the day, it was fun and I will be getting my very own mtn bike in about a week. I will be easing myself in on some less technical trails. The hardest part is that going from road riding to mtn biking means basically relearning absolutely everything.

    store the file somewhere (flickr etc, or in the gallery here) then find the URL of the picture, and wrap it with [IM G] before and [/IM G] afterwards (missing out the spaces inside the square brackets - that's just a trick to get 'em to actually shown in this post!)

    We ran into 3 bighorn sheep on the way back down. I was not about to stop and take their picture. I value my life too much.

    Here is a video from the WEMBO 24hr Worlds that I attended in October in Canberra, Australia. It is from the perspective of single speed rider Brett Bellchambers (not the lady I was pit crewing for) but gives a good overview of the race and the sport.

    I did a few laps around the course prior to the race (I have previously put up pics from this) so enjoy :)

    Amazing video! :drinker: Loved the night shots. Those were the best. I'm amazed people do that without falling over dead from exhaustion. :wink:

    not so much a photo, as a series of video's from a ride earlier this month...

    A bit shaky, more a "proof of concept" and checkout for the camera... since then there have been a number of modifications made to hopfully fix the noise issues a bit and maybe get the framing a little better.

    Go easy on me, I'm a beginner! :-) pics are in order by date starting with my new bike purchase Dec26th (my birthday gift to myself!) I live in Spartanburg, South Carolina. My favorite place to bike is Dupont State Forest in Cedar Mountain, NC. The snow pics were from Bent Creek Area, Pisgah National Forest, NC last weekend.

    and just to complete the set, I re-rode the loop, with a spare battery and got the last 1/3 of the ride as well

    (worse weather, but better sound as I'd done a couple of modifications to the mounting and waterproof case to stop the rattling!)
