That will be a telegraph pole then
Timolgra made me do it
- Thread starter Richeyroo
- Start date
Well, without wishing to sound like Mother Theresa, I wanted to give something back - I read zillions of ride reports on the web, never ever do one myself, so after reading Tim's wild and wet report (or was that on a different website
) I just decided to put some effort into one days riding and taking some snapsAll photos were taken with a 10 second timer, on a little waterproof
Panasonic. Mind you there were plenty of outtakes.It makes you realise how much effort people put into these reports on the web when you try and do one of your own.
I enjoy photography and biking equally, so think my next purchase is a wireless remote. And the camera to go with it
yeah Claudio whatisname. And a support truck. Fixers in the UK and at every bend. Oh no, hold on. My bad
The action shots are impressive, especially if you are using a 10 second timer.
You must be able to run very very fast.
Nice one Richy. Adventure jumpers......they are the way forward

Great report and images.
That's decided it then. I'm on my way later in the year if I can find a war to ship the bike back.

I'm tempted to bring out my own range of "adventure jumpers" and yes it was hard work trying to make the 10 second timer. Thats why I got hot. I was desperately looking for a custom setting to change the timer to a more gentlemanly 15 or 20 seconds but couldnt't find one.
Anyway the ride down the hill was pain free and this was the first flat stretch in about 12 km where the brakes weren't on. So I nailed it
This is looking backwards, the mountain I'd just been up was behind me at this point

I screwed up a bit at this point as I headed along the flat ground between the 2 mountain ranges, although it doesn't really matter where you are going when you are just arsing about. More flat ground and more nailing the mighty DR. And because I was going reasonably fast I didn't take the correct turn to go up and over the mountain track that I'd seen from the other range. But it hardly mattered, it was a nice bit of track. And still no cars
And then I saw ahead of me an interesting gap in the mountains that I didn't know of, and hadn't seen before
So I pottered through

Honestly I meant "way".
great stuff 
you even get to clean your bike on the way home
... which is the reason for the waterproof camera.
Anything interesting ?
