HIghlights of some of our hill practice

So here's a little 'raw' footage of our trip to Round Valley near Clinton, NJ


We picked Round Valley for our most recent foray for a couple of reasons. It theoretically "split" the distance between Rob's place in PA and the rest of us, the Dirtworld review had some good things to say about the trails, and it had a lot of climbs for us to train on for our upcoming race.

That last part at least was true.

We had quite a few mechanical issues on this ride, from Sam forgetting the skewer for his front wheel (saved by the local bike shop) to Rob shredding his front chainring(s) and getting a catastrophic flat at the end.

The video is OK, but we will need to refine the aim point for future posts so that you can get a better view. For this one, pay close attention to the sound and you can hear Sam describe what happiness means to him.

As we get a little better with the video editing suite we should be able to polish these up quite a bit more. Might hang version 2.0 of this video at some point in the near future.
