I played one of my toughest climb videos for a friend today. It was one of the older ones recorded with the Kodak Playsport mounted on the handlebars, so the heavy breathing was good and loud! He said "There you go having sex again!"

We have a ride planned this morning with 4 climbs. Only 2200 ft of climbing, but each one has a stretch of 10% grade, and 24% on 1 of them.
Should be interesting!

We can always FAKE climbing the hills! Bet you'd never know the difference!

It might have at that. We rode 58 miles, and made the 4 climbs (along with several other assorted smaller hills). I confess I had to stop twice on the last climb, but I did get going again.
At some point I may purchase a cam to use on bike rides, but, that will come after a Garmin computer and a new bike....

And I know you got a great rush from working that hard too. But, in my humble and very old opinion, it still doesn't even come close to sex!!
Do you agree or disagree???

If you get one, keep the original ride audio in your videos so the viewer gets the full experience of a good sufferfest. Also, the videos will be very appropriate for this thread!

Sounds like a good ride!
You can get the same cam I used in the video I posted earlier in this thread. It takes 2 AAA batteries, so a $7.99 pack of 4 low-discharge NiMH rechargeables will give you about four hours of recording time. It takes a microSD memory card. The camera itself is $63.72 on Amazon.

Do you mount the cam on the bike?

Yes. For that video I mounted the cam on the handlebars, because if I mount it any lower on that folding Bike Friday, you get an obnoxious creaking sound coming from the handlepost. This is why the cam is mounted on the bars on the San Francisco steep climb video I posted last month.
On my regular road bikes I mount the camera on the head tube now. It gives a much more stable video with less less wobble, which is normally caused by the bars moving back and forth on climbs.

Can I ask how you superimpose your bike computer data onto the screen? Which computer do you have?

I use a program called DashWare to overlay the data from my Garmin Edge 500 onto the video. DashWare has a bunch of different gauges you can use, but I chose to make my own because I didn't want the screen cluttered up too much.

That's very useful site freighttraininguphill - I've already got the Garmin, looks like I'll be getting a helmetcam and maybe even the Dashware software quite soon!
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly - it's appreciated.

Not a problem. Sorry it took me almost four days to reply, as I forgot to check in on this thread during that time.
I look forward to seeing your videos if you post any. Keep them with original ride audio on climbs and they might be appropriate for this thread too!
Seriously though, I like natural sound on ride videos, especially climbs or videos with conversations between riders.

Sorry it took me almost four days to reply,
Ooops! - I wasn't being cheeky, I've been living on this forum for the past few days since I discovered it, and all sense of time seems to have vanished. I'm NEVER going to be able to read all the posts.
I look forward to seeing your videos if you post any.
I'll only be putting up any that might be considered impressive - so you might have a wait :o) Trust me, although I live in a hilly city, nothing I do will compare to the inclines you achieve.
Downhill, I'm sure I'd be fine. But I'd need a TagAlong with an oxygen bottle, hose and mask to attack some of the inclines you seem to enjoy!

I didn't think you were being cheeky. I normally respond much quicker than I did though.
You would be surprised at what people seem to like. I've put up some videos that I figured were mediocre, yet they seem to be well liked, so if you take a hilly ride on one of your favorite routes post away!

Thanks guys,
Here's a route I put up a while ago on Bikely https://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path...rwick-and-back
No vids for a wee while yet - but click on Show, then Elevation Profile, to see about the worst hills I encounter.

Hmm, the "twin peaks" in the middle look, um, excited! Still very appropriate for this thread!
Might still make a good video too, raw of course!

I do keep the ride audio. My last ride was the Bass Lake Double Century, but I didnt record the climbs there. I will check the video I made for the Carmel Valley DC, back in August. That ride had the Nacimiento-Ferguson climb, as well as the Calhoon summit climb (between King City and Carmel)

I know you make good raw videos, as I saw them on Facebook

Oops! I didn't realize that when I edit one of my old posts it notifies whoever I quoted! I've spent the last several days editing and deleting old posts that had dead links to the YouTube videos I used to post in here years ago. I deleted my YouTube channel several years ago, so if I want to post a video nowadays (which I never do anymore) I use Pinkbike.

To anyone else reading this, I sincerely apologize for resurrecting a thread that's almost 7 years old. It was not my intention to do so. I was just removing dead video links from old posts, and apparently when I did that to posts where I quoted someone it alerted them.

Well, we could always morph this into a chain lube thread.
