Marty Backe Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) Join us for another ride to Mt Baldy for a nice lunch and return trip. This is some of the best mountain road riding that you can experience. We will meet here at ~8:30am for departure ~9am. Any 1600wh or larger wheel can do this ride. Bring a charger with you to recharge a bit while we eat lunch.

Dzlchef Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 You know that I'm there, totally jealous that I couldn't make the inaugural ride! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess Marty and I will tear the mountain down ourselves! @Rama Douglas said he may be there (via Facebook). @Jrkline "Wheel Whisperer" never acknowledges whether he'll be there, but often shows up. It's sure to be fun regardless 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Marty Backe Posted July 6, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2019 Another epic ride. Almost 11-hours and 50-miles before we got back to the cars. We were borderline lost in the mountains, descending 3000 feet into a canyon where the only way out was to ride & walk 6+ miles on a rough trail that required traversing a river more then 30 times, sometimes over our knees. Towards the end, when this picture was taken, we were starting to go crazy with the water crossings, so why not get our group picture standing in the river From the left: @Dzlchef, me, @Rama Douglas, and @Jrkline "Wheel Whisperer" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always bummed to have not felt it when in a car...Wife said it was SCARY! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truck moved in a funny way, almost like it was pushed by a gust of wind. Than when I got home about 15-minutes later my wife told me. And she said it was scarier than the one from the previous day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the radio told us it had just happened...I was messing around with the GoPro last night and it pretty much puts videos together for you. All my footage is pretty badass (never had a nice camera before) It made a fun summary of the whole trip. This was the result: Tagging @Jrkline "Wheel Whisperer" too. Hope y'all are feeling rested! That was an adventure and cannot wait to see your video when you get to it Marty! 😎 Looks like it's still in 720 on YT. Hopefully it'll get upped to 4k later today. I've never uploaded from iPad before, and I know YT takes a while for the quality to improve...

I'm assuming it will increase later today... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at 720 it's a great video 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm brand new to the GoPro editing, and I just learned the Quick app won't edit in 4k on the iPad, I also had to open settings to enable it to save at 1080p / 60fps. So I just re-uploaded just now. Still in 720, but hopefully it'll be streaming at 1080 soon...🤞 Here's the new link ... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wait to you try editing 5.7K video 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
