C&O and GAP tour (video)

I hope I'm not buggin' you guys with all of my videos. I figure this is a good place to share them. The C&O and the GAP together make a great week long bike ride. If you have the time, let me know what you think. Thanks.
Paul

You can't be serious! Looking forward to part three along the Ohio River.

Nice! You did a great job. We rode from Pitt to DC last June. It was a great trail, or trails. We met lots of really nice people. We also agree mile marker zero is a bit congested and difficult to get to.

Nice video.

What year is that Miyata frame? My first road bike back in the late 80s was a Miyata (the exact model long since flushed from my memory) and it was a great bike.

It's a 1987 Miyata 1000. It's one of my newer bikes. Rides like buttah!!

Thanks! It's a big city on the east coast. But once you get a few miles down the trail there's plenty of solitude.

Hey Smudgy, that's a really nice video presentation. I have never ridden the C&O, so you've given me some inspiration there. I have some technical questions for you. I'm guessing that you brought your own drone for the aerial shots. Can you tell me about it? What are its capabilities? Did you use for "follow me" segments? What did you use to edit your video? I really liked the results. Thanks!

First, thanks for watching. The whole point of making the videos is to motivate people to go ride. So, thanks again. The drone... I have a DJI Mini Mavic. It's under 250 grams. It's not the full size version with all of the "follow me" capabilities. But it has a nice camera mounted on a gimble to give good smooth shots. I'm working on getting my part 107 drone license soon. Just got to go take the test. Editing program... I've been using Adobe Premiere Pro. It's pretty slick. I'm still learning. But, thanks again. I'm currently working on a couple new videos, may be ready after the holidays.
