  1. Today was a JAR skills clinic day. Before we helped the newbies, Jeff
    and I went for a "relaxed" ride at the Gloucester County Community
    College. It's a short course made of quick and steep short hills and
    rooty singletrack. It's been beat up pretty bad over the years and it
    was a tad bit sloppy today. It was even worse on the single speed as I
    had to get off on just about every climb because of the wet roots.

    I did get to test out my new helmet cam. It's a viosport with 520 lines
    of resolution. I was tempted to go the full miniDV strapped to the
    helmet thing, but my kneck just couldn't support it.

    Here is some video from the ride:

    You're lucky you weren't perceived as a terrorist threat and arrested and
    thrown in jail!

    Eek... volume needed to be turned to off to watch at least some of it. The
    screeching at the beginning almost made me click that little X in the upper
    right corner.

    You need to adjust your suspension, as in use your
    arms and legs to absorb trail shock.

    You also need to aim the lipstick cam higher.

    LOL. That was the best squeeky wheel I could find for my intro.

    Gotcha. It was a new mount for the cam so I know there's adjustment
    needed.

    I was on my SS which is a hardtail. Not my usual bike, and I didn't
    realize how bad the roots would be here. It's been a while since I last
    road at the college.

    Thanks for the tips.
