Here's a couple screenshots from my riding partner's GoPro from a steep hill climbing ride I did on the first of this month. No jersey this time. Until I receive my order from The Hammerin' Wheels Road Bike Club, I only have one jersey so I don't always feel like washing it.
Here's some screenshots from my riding partner's helmet-mounted GoPro.

Riding around in circles waiting for my riding partner to finish the climb. The only reason I climbed this hill faster than him was because he was taking it easy. He kicked my butt as usual on the other climbs.

Your climbs continually put us to shame. You go harder than 99% of us on SSFG (myself definitely included). Bravo.

Here's a screenshot from my riding partner's helmet-mounted GoPro of me climbing Mt. Diablo yesterday during the NorCal BikeForums Morgan Territory/Mt. Diablo group ride. One of the riders did the entire ride on 44x17 fixed!

New cog on and the bike is silent, so much more enjoyable to ride now.

On last weekend's group ride, a rider's husband paid us a visit on the steep section of Bayne Road in Coloma. He is a professional photographer, so he took some great B&W pics of us climbing. The first 1.2 miles of this climb are double-digit steep, with grades in the twenties at times.

I'm the one in front here. The steep section ended with the woman with the hybrid finishing first (her husband is the one who took these pictures), then me, then the other two riders. There were two other faster riders that finished before all of us.

For those who enjoy my climbing videos, here's the entire uncut 1.2 mile steep section with DashWare Garmin data overlay. Normally I edit long climbs like this down to 10-12 minutes or so, but there was plenty of commentary from the other riders. I also wanted to document the entire steep part with the DashWare overlay for my own benefit and for other riders who are interested, so I left this video uncut. This turned out to be a wise decision based on the likes and comments I got on Facebook. There is a slight blip at 14:27 where the camera created a new file due to the limitations of the FAT32 file system, so I think there may be a fraction of a second of footage lost when the camera does that. The DashWare overlay is uninterrupted though. There is also a slight creak coming from my helmet, but thankfully it disappears after a few minutes. There is plenty of commentary from the other riders, so be sure to turn up the volume. There's some good commentary directed towards me starting at 15:35, including another rider telling me to breathe harder to give her motivation I was controlling my breathing pretty well though, so she'll have more of a challenge finding good "porn breathing". I think she and the others were trying to break my concentration by making me laugh

Finally not raining. Did a nice 36 miles route through the orchards and farms. And yes that's a fanny pack. Easy way to carry a couple tools, mini pump, spare tube, and light jacket for later.

Except the pump, that gets mounted on the frame.

And a pump will get stolen off a frame first time I lock it up anywhere. Everything fits comfortably in the fanny pack. Is there a problem with using one?
