Very nice video of this trail ride and one that I love riding on! Sadly, now you hear reports on the news about not riding or walking alone. Seems like you can't enjoy anything in this world. I love the display data software that you used to present this. What is it?
Inspiring ride! I ride the Capital to Capital trail almost every Weekend and love it always. However my distance, speed, and power averages are much less than yours. Your average speed going up the hills from the City of Richmond is now my goal, rather than huffing and puffing at 5 or 6mph like I usually do 😂
I rode this route on Monday. Be aware you run into road construction and the path is closed at Farnsworth. You and get around, but after that, it's not safe. Might be that way for a couple of more months. Use the Batavia branch where it splits in Warrenville.
Technical question: How did you record your speed, time & location data, and elevation change, and what video editing software did you use to superimpose it all together?
Nice. I love the recumbent/solar design. I've heard that commercial solar panels can make electricity even in the shade, whereas most residential panels can't. That's just a piece of information I heard. Can't give you anything additonal! Enjoy your fun bike!
Isn't it beautiful?! You traveled past my elementary school, my high school sweetheart's farm, the churches I went to, my cousin's house ...and my road at 44.48. You probably have no idea the level of American history you traveled over. It's crazy here. I grew up here (Varina), lived all over the country for 23 years, and returned. It's still much the same out here and we are FIGHTING to keep the strip malls and concrete out of here. We love it this way and it makes me happy to see you rate it #1. I agree. Thanks so much for this video!!!!
It's wonderful they made such a nice trail, I'm eager to buy a nice bike and attempt to do the 50 mile trip. How much water did you carry? I have a camelback but not sure if it'll be enough.
I had at least 10 or more bottles of water,coke, Gatorade, and other drinks. There are several stores along the way so you don't need to worry about running out of water.
Nice video- hope to ride soon. So we’re you riding on 28mm or 32mm? How was it with the gravel sections? Unsure if I should ride my hybrid/MTB (an older Specialized I use for commuting) or my road that has 32mm tires.
Great video! What kind of bike do you have? You were averaging some pretty good speed most of the way. My goal is to ride down from Richmond to Williamsburg at some point this year.
@@RideBicycleUSA I plan on doing the 52 mile trip down, stay the night and then come back the next day. Definitely not up for an up and back in one day
Beautiful ride. To help me understand your setup, How many watts are your panels? And how many amp hours are your batteries? And finally, what are you using to measure your solar output? Thanks for taking the time to share this great work with the world.
Hi! I have two panels at 170w each or 340w total. The battery is about 14ah made from used cells. I am using Cycle Analogger to record soalr input. ebikes.ca/shop/electric-bicycle-parts/ca-accessories/ca-log.html I had broken solar sensor so this video has missing solar data.
Wow, thanks for the memories. I grew up in Rockville. I used to bike from the Veirs Mill/Aspen Hill road trailhead all the way to National Airport every weekend in the summer. That was around 1982 and lasted through 1987 when I graduated U of M and moved away. It has changed a lot.
Nice video, I have a Sony AS300, as well as the FDRX3000 action cameras, which I use to film my bike rides. What settings are you using on your camera, in regards to resolution, field of view, bit rate, color mode? I use 1080p/60, in the medium field of view, 50mbps, in vivid color mode on my camera to film my rides. I usually avoid riding or filming in the rain, so that my videos turn out the best quality. Do you have your camera mounted on the bike handlebars, or on your helmet, also which stabilization mode do you use?
