Canyon Ranch Run: the video.

OK, here's the video I promised of our NorCal ride (part-1)



Be sure to click the "watch in high quality" option if you have broadband.

Nice video, tell me about the the high quality version option. That was the first time I've noticed that, how did you do that?

Good job - thank Judy for the show!

The Zion video was good too. Makes me want to ditch work today and go riding...but it is raining right now so I guess that keeps my job for another day. Nice Caddman !

Dan, I think it's something new at YouTube. It just magically appeared after everything was uploaded & processed.

When I created the .wmv file I used a pretty high rez (2.1 Mb/sec I think) and YouTube thunks it down to something much coarser, but the HQ version looks much better.

I'm going to upload the Zion Video again & see if it will show it in HQ mode too.

Thanks, I will!

Also, I'll start working on part-2 tonight.

Thanks, Schoeney. Sometimes bad weather is your friend, I guess. It has been consistantly nice here so I forget how it is. ;)

My buddy Dave wants me to go flying with him again, so I might be posting some high altitude views of that stuff one of these days.

Good job on the video and I liked the accompanying music! It's good to see that a fine time was had by all. That is some beautiful country you went through.

very nice !! Great editing Caddmann. The camera work makes that possible though, so a special thanks to the person shooting the film, who I assume was your wife.
It makes a big difference when you have someone sitting behind you doing the camera work. I tried mounting my camera on the bike for this summers ride, but not being able to scan around as you ride makes for a boring shoot. But yours was great. Thanks for taking the time to do the work for all of us.

Thanks Ricky,

Judy did do a pretty good job, and I had 30 minutes of video to work with. It was pretty easy to come up with 4-1/2 minutes of good stuff from that. In fact I'm sure there's enough footage for part-2 (as advertized.) The great part is where I'm cranked over in the turns and she leans inside even more so it looks like I'm cranked waaay over. If I was really at that angle we would have scraped off a lot of chrome, and later they'd have probably been scraping us up out of the Yuba River. ;)

Man, I'm with Schoeney (stuck in the rain)! Between that vid and the Zion one, I should be singing:
"Now I'm Jealous...Very Jealous!"
