Trying out video for the rides.
I ended up recording my ride today and I think the recording came out okay. It is not a vlog it is just a simple recording with no audio as the wind noise was AWFUL. Either way I figured I would give it an upload to a few of the social media sites and see what happens. I put it on Threads and on Instagram but when I tried to upload it to youtube it kept trying to do it as a long form video and not a short becuase the ratio was wrong so I deleted it there and never posted it. I am going to record my rides from now on as it was not as embarrassing as I thought it would be. I don't think anyone even noticed that I had a camera mounted to my chest or if they did they did not give on hoot about it.
I will be making some improvements to the video such as I think I am going to use a mic that is not on the camera to get better audio as well as make sure that the camera is pointed a bit more up. Right now the image is too much bars and not quite enough of the road. I also mounted the camera to my chest instead of to another spot like my helmet so maybe after a few videos I will change where I mount the camera but for now it will be a chest mount. I am excited to start recording and start posting videos going forward.
Other than riding the ramps a few times there was nothing much to point out from this ride. Other than the one funny thing where a guy was riding ahead of me and when I caught up to him all I could smell was skunk. As I passed I said puff puff passing on your left and he just looked at me and kept on doing his thing. Rudness of smoking on the trail aside I just kept going those things are not against my state law and there was no one else around so I just kept riding.
The next few days it looks like it will be raining out fairly badly in my area. I would ride in some light to moderate rain but I will not ride in a full downpour unless I am already out there. I have lost enough weight and got enough time on the bike that I don't need to ride every single day I have an hour free I can rest a day if its raining and not worry about meeting goals or expections I set for myself. That being said I might not have another update for the blog for a little bit as the next day I would be able to ride would be monday and thats a work day where I have to be online early so Tuesday I might get a morning ride in I might not but that would be the next day I had a ride. I could go for a run on the treadmill but I have not given myself any rest days in a while so that is why I don't think I will be runnng or lifting for a bit.
I am off to continue the journey! Have a wonderful day and thank you very much for reading!
