Re: Log your rides

Here's a few photos of the Fraser Canyon from my trip there last weekend.

Re: Log your rides

My favorite parts of cayuse's ride report is when I read the word "Chilliwack." Cracks me up for some reason.

Re: Log your rides

Beautiful vistas. It makes me growl that I'm having issues with getting my back wheel fixed. Fun to see others out having fun. A friend at church tonight showed up after we finished stripping soccer fields. He knew of my problems so I welcomed him with a snide greeting, Look at this guy with his fancy back wheel!

Re: Log your rides

Yeah, I believe I'm spoiled with the scenery around here. I've got to remember to stop a little more often and take some photos for you guys.

Re: Log your rides

OK here is my short clip of riding southbound from the Hell's Gate turnaround, past the gondola station and through a couple of tunnels. The camera picked up the engine but also a LOT of wind noise so turn your speakers down.

Nice Footage.

Can you give some Info on your Camera
and tips on shooting while you're riding?

Thanks

Re: Log your rides

Thanks Strelok!

I'd like to shoot in HD but for now this is the best I've got. I used this
ultra-simple setup to capture video using my daughter's discarded
digital camera. That's a hex head cap screw, lock washer, and
rubber washer holding a piece of aluminum bar (1/8" x 3/4"
from Rona) onto the fork bracket. The camera is fixed
with a couple of rubber washers, a wing nut, and a
socket head cap screw with knob cap. I also have
a lanyard clipped onto the camera and tied onto
my handlebars as a fail-safe measure in case
something rattles loose. I found this
placement resulted in the least
amount of vibration. Now to
work on noise reduction....

Wow. What a smart idea.
Economical too. The vibration
was minimal and I didn't have any
problem with the wind noise. I was also
wondering what exactly is "Hell's Gate" I saw?

Thanks Strelok

Hell's Gate is a very narrow section of the Fraser River. The sign you saw refers to a gondola ride you can take down to the far side of the river. Here's a good link:
