Well, I took my bike out for a short 20mile spin to test out my new "gun camera" Laughing.  It's not terribly exciting but I wanted to check the camera angle before doing any serious stuff.

Enjoy:

Won't win any Oscars.

Makes me want to ride right now!

I am SOOOOOOO jealous of your route. That much gorgeous flatness and the mountain ranges in the back....awesome. For me a flat ride means one mile without a rated climb. That's living in CT for you!

HOLY S**T ON TOAST!! WHERE THE HELL DO U LIVE THAT U CAN RIDE THAT FAR WITH SO FEW CARS!!???? Where I'm from I can't walk 30 yards anywhere with a gazillion cars (most of them old blind angry snowbirds) that are determined to hit and kill you every chance they get. GODDAMMIT I hate my city!!!!!

But that was a pretty awesome clip

It doesn't really show up in the video, but that whole ride is up hill!  It's around a 1000' climb.

 

I don't think vegas has as stretch of road longer than 500 ft that is not climbing or decending.

what beautiful riding lanes, you are very fortunate.  Here in Maryland the lanes suck, full of rocks,mufflers, dead animals and car parts to dodge.

It's the bike mount.  My bike is a TT bike so there are not many "round" tubes to attach to.  I put it on the stem hanging underneith and slightly to the side of center.  I think it worked out well.  Next I am trying out the helmet mount and the chest mount....

What part of Vegas is that?  I just ran the Red Rock Canyon 1/2 marathon a few weeks ago and this video reminded me of that run.  That's in Summerlin, right?

Great first video, with the sun at your back the shadow of you on the bars is awesome. But aren't you supposed to yell 'on your left' when passing?

Nah, I just put 'em in the "crosshairs" and start yelling 'PEW-PEW-PEW"  Tongue out

Yep that's Charleston riding out towards Red Rock.  I sometimes forget and take for granted how gorgeous and exotic my scenery is and I didn't even ride the loop for this vid.  That route is REALLY gorgeous.

Awesome video! Loved the music, scenery, and the shadow as you were riding. You were so smooth at times I thought you were coasting but you could see the pedaling in the shadow. Nice.

And I am so envious right now. Loved the snow free roads. We are looking at likely another month of snow on the roads so still spinning indoors.

Curse you, now I'm contemplating buying one tomorrow.  Must avoid temptation.  I think I'd prefer a helmet mount because all the good stuff seems to happen at stop lights and not directly in front of me
