Ride to Aspen

I thought I would test YouTube as a way of posting short videos since the Blog restricts uploads to 10MB. The video below is 30MB.

This video clip of my ride to the Maroon Bells in Aspen, Colorado on Memorial Weekend 2006 was taken with my Canon Powershot A75 Digital Camera. The camera was held with my clutch (left) hand at speeds up to 60 mph while balancing and steering, not to mention dodging bicyclists and oncoming traffic. Now you can see the need for having mounting systems for our cameras! If I weren't such a stud, this video would've been much shorter and shown a lot more gravel.

Thanks for the suggestion, Mark, but there's one little problem - we are in the US, not the UK. If you've tried any of the helmet cams, we'd love to hear your feedback. Cheers.
