Mineral Wells 100k Rally
Oct 16th, 2010, 8:01pm
 
Took Angie, and two of our friends to ride 3/4 of the Mineral Wells 200k.  It was a beautiful day.  Enjoyed a very moderate pace as we enjoyed a great.  I saw Mike (on his F5) at the start, but never got a chance to talk to him.  It's great riding up Cherry Pie Hills with you wife.  She stopped a couple times, but got back on the V3 and made it.

Dorothy and I rode the Kiwanis Crazy Kicker Bike ride in Mineral Wells
on 10-16-10.  It was in the 50’s when the ride started at 8 am and
warmed up into the 70s by the end of the ride.  There were about
300-400 riders with routes of 22, 37, 50, 65, and 100 miles.  Dorothy
did the 22 mile and I did the 37 mile.  We rode together for about 3
miles until the routes split.  There were a lot of hills on both
routes.  We were either going uphill on going downhill.  Not many
level spots.   This ride really helped Dorothy’s confidence in riding
hills.
 
Here is a video of the ride.  Most of the video is going downhill
because it takes too long to show the uphill part!   I got a little
over 40 MPH on the second downhill in the video.  These long downhills
made the uphills worth the effort.

VERY NICE VIDEO.... Smiley
 
From the shadows it looks like you had the camera on your helmet.  If so, what type of camera, and how was it attached?

Ric,
It is a GoPro Helmet Hero camera.  It comes with several different mounting options.
