bike ride with a camcorder
When I look at the web, I get a kick out of watching videos. To that end, I decided to make some of my own. I got a cool little camcorder called a flip, and bought the gadget that they make that you can strap onto your handle bars and secure the camcorder onto it. Time to get shots of today's bike ride--of both the view and of ME!
My husband and I set off for a ride after lunch, both of our dogs following us. It's a beautiful day, although still a bit cold. I decided it was a perfect day to try to videotape the ride.
I'd share what I got, but really, it's kind of silly. The longest clip is of me setting it up on my bike--there's an occasional glimpse of the picture-perfect day, with the beautiful green trees, blue sky and a few puffy white clouds. You see a glimpse of my husband, and a lot of my hand and my orange jacket. It ends with me trying to get my sweet, deaf dog out of the road as a car approaches her.
When we started riding I thought I had pushed the "record" button, but I guess I turned it off! No video for you all to enjoy, but I'll bet it will be a lot more fun for you to get out and see your own scenery, ride with your own spouse, friends, pet, or self, and finish by feeling a lot more achievement than you would just by watching me ride!
And don't worry, the dog's fine!
