A few videos from yesterdays ride

Had a fun little ride on the playground yesterday evening before the sun went down.... headed up NC 226A which is always a favorite cuz it's soooo empty every time. I wanted to come back down NC 80 which is another favorite, but it was starting to get dark so I just came back down the same way. I don't haul ass on the street so it's not a fast knee dragging kind of ride, just having fun at a safe reasonable pace and working on my body positioning and trying some new stuff I learned sitting in on one of Lee Parks "Total Control" classes last weekend (hence I got the wiggles a few times, and missed my lines a few times too trying different things, lol)

I was playing around with my GoPro camera since I haven't used it in awhile, and trying it in a few different spots on the bike. I think I like this one...

Going up the mountain (the really good part of the road starts at about 1/3 of the way into the vid or so)

Nice videos. Your lines are fine....

Long sweepers to me are kinda boring cause you have to do 100 plus to have any fun. Any animals out there to get in the way?
