It's completely different for me taking simpler photos like this, with a point & shoot camera, instead of my usual gear and artistic mindset. It's actually kind of refreshing just trying to capture what's there and not worrying as much about the technical stuff. Thanks Marty, I appreciate that.

I know what you mean about the trails - I've often found myself trying to sync up the trail markers and a map, only to learn that the map was created by a one-eye navigator with a lean and vertigo; better to stick to the trail markers, usually. I really enjoyed the photos, too. You managed to capture your hike wonderfully - I always forget that sometimes the simpler pictures can be much better than getting too hyper-focused on getting 'something' in the frame...

The speed much of the time was in the 18-20 mph area, although it was higher at times and lower at others. I think I hit 39 mph at one point, I am pretty slow on climbs. I think my overall average was 16 and change. The more aggressive "Mad Dog" group was not present this time, and I probably wouldn't have ridden with them this time around. It would've been too much.

Good for you. Did you guys get up some speed. Like 20-22 mph? I know what you mean about the photobucket music. When you're ready for youtube, let me know. You have to have a movie program, but Windows XP has it preloaded. Double paceline? Good for you. Did you guys get up some speed. Like 20-22 mph?

I plan on doing a lot more photography and biking come July-ish. When I took my son through a trail ride this past weekend, he was worried that a bear was going to come get us. I told him if he stayed close, he'd be fine. Couple of nice little journeys there. I plan on doing a lot more photography and biking come July-ish.
