Thanks for watching! I haven’t shot any Ilford before, but I have been meaning to try it. Have fun shooting! 🎞️

I got the same issue originally, but it seems like it was because I was not logged in to my Strava account. Once I logged in and tried the link it worked!

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it - yes, I agree / feel the same way. I am a fan of the sections that are paved and separated from road traffic. Luckily the segments on this trail where you are close to cars / have to bike on the road is minimal, but it would be great if they were able to make it 100% contained to a biking trail.

Thanks for watching and for the question - good observation! After your last shot, it shouldn’t matter either way. After you advance once past your last shot, the shutter release button gets disabled on the camera (you won’t be able to press it again) and the counter on the back will go blank. As long as you put your dark slide back into the back before removing it you will be fine (which you’ll have to put the dark slide in to get the back off anyways).

De rien! Thank you for watching, and have fun with the camera!

Yes, go for it - it is a nice ride - the bridge is definitely the highlight and the fall colors should still be beautiful!

👍👍👍😍😍😍

You are welcome! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Weather and foliage should be great then - have a nice ride 🍁

Nice job and thanks for watching! Sounds like it was a great ride ☀️

Thanks for watching! Have fun with it!! 📷

Thanks for watching! Have fun shooting with it!

Now that some time has passed and if you still haven’t used it I’ll gladly give it some life.

Thanks for watching!!

I parked at Sawmill Creek Park - plenty of free parking and connects right to the loop. Here is the Google Maps pin - have fun: maps.app.goo.gl/XKCfuCFWdQJfqaep9

That is awesome - welcome to the area! I am assuming you are referring to the Madison and N Fairfax St in Old Town Alexandria area? If so, yes, you can hop on the Mt. Vernon trail right there by Oronoco Bay Park. Once you are on, you just head north and it will take you all the way up to Rosslyn where you can cross the bridge into Georgetown (up until this point you will be on a dedicated biking/walking trail the whole time - no traffic!). I personally haven’t biked up to the Cathedral before, but I am pretty sure it will require some biking on the road once you get to Georgetown to get there. If you wanted slightly more time off the road, you could go My Vernon trail, cross the Arlington Memorial Bridge (towards the Lincoln Memorial), and then hop on the Rock Creek trail (just hang a left once you cross the bridge and keep going north). You’d need to hop off the Rock Creek trail once you get to Shoreham Dr NW to cut NW to the Cathedral. I hope that helps and have fun biking in the area! Lots of trails to choose from!!

@cjones5vt this is SO helpful!! Holy smokes. Thank you very much! I sincerely appreciate your help ✌️✌️

No problem at all - happy to help! See you out there!

Glad you like it!

Thank you for the kind words and for watching! Have fun shooting!

I concur.

Thank you so much for watching - I am glad it was helpful and thanks for the kind words!

I think you would do just fine with a road bike on this section - there were some gravel spots, but a majority of this specific section is paved and I think if you just paced yourself for the gravel segments you would be just fine (the gravel sections for the most part were finely crushed gravel so not many large chunks or anything like that). I road the trail on a Trek Checkpoint with gravel tires, but that is my only bike option...if you have multiple bikes to choose from, I'd say to just ride the gravel one the first time to be conservative (but if a road bike is your only option, I still think you'd be fine)

That is awesome! I want to make it back someday to do the rest of the trail!

The entire trail!😯😯😯 you did a great job!😯😯😍😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@ thanks.. it wasn’t the most miles I’ve done in a day but it was a good day’s ride😀

@@NealAmmermanI googled and saw that High Bridge Trail is 31 miles long! And you went even further! 😯😯😯 That is so impressive!😯😯😍😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

There is a large parking lot off Marine Academy Drive!

Give it a shot! Yes, you can get all the way from Bethesda to Old Town just using bike trails, which is great (no cars to worry about)! Caveat to that is that once you get to old town you will have to bike on the street briefly, but traffic typically isn't too bad!

Do it! It is a great ride! Thanks for the love and reviving the comments section! :)

@@cjones5vt your welcome:)

The trail end-to-end is 14 miles; however, if you are doing the whole thing as an out-and-back ride it comes out to 28 miles. The trail starts in Falmouth and ends in Columbia.

@cjones5vt thank you. I'll only have time to do the 14 miles. Where would I start then if I want to end in Columbia?

Will you be driving yourself? Or will someone pick you up? If you start in Falmouth it is about 14 miles to Columbia (I.e. the whole trail). To do that though, you’d need someone to drop you off in Falmouth and then pick you up in Columbia. If you are driving yourself, you will just have to park in Columbia and ride 7 miles out on the trail and then 7 miles back to Columbia. 7 miles out from Columbia gets you to about where East Donegal Township Riverfront Park is.

@cjones5vt I would most likely drive myself. I plan on biking so I can probably make it round trip. I'm guessing Falmouth to Columbia is downhill? Or is most of the trail flat

Yes, you are correct. Falmouth to Columbia is slightly downhill - only a few hundred feet of elevation change over the length of the trail so it is effectively flat. Falmouth to Columbia and back (or vice versa) will come out to ~28 miles total.

It unfortunately doesn't go out that far west! It starts in Glen Burnie and takes a southeasterly path all the way to Annapolis (does not pass through Crofton unfortunately!).

Good catch and thanks for pointing that out! You are absolutely correct!

The film was already damaged from not being stored properly so it was the perfect candidate for an instructional video!

Any time out on the trail is enjoyable for me! A little bit of a crowd keeps you on your toes!

Thanks for watching! Get out there, it is definitely worth it especially with the temperatures warming up!

@@cjones5vt …Thank you, Friend. Unfortunately, I have a heart condition now that would preclude me from getting on a bike. So I will ride the trails vicariously through you and others who share their biking adventures. Much appreciate all you do. 😊👍

Thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

That is great! You will love it - there are dedicated trails in Rock Creek that run up to the zoo and beyond you can access any day of the week, but I definitely recommend going on Saturday or Sunday too because they close down sections of Beach Drive to cars so you can bike uninterrupted on the road without cars too!

Also curious about the peak design integration

Hi! Yes, I have a peak design tripod mount on the bottom that has worked pretty well. Just make sure if you put one on to tighten it down very well (the Hasselblad is so heavy that if it is loose it can come undone easy if things get off balance...shouldn't be an issue if you just make sure it is really tight). The little plastic beads on the side are also for a peak design sling ("Peak Design Slide Camera Strap")...to be honest, I haven't used the sling much. Normally when I shoot with the Hasselblad I either have it mounted to the tripod that I am carrying around or just have it in a small sling back for quick access with a basic wrist strap on it. The little metal things I attached to the lugs for the peak design beads I just got on Amazon and they work well (just search "Hasselblad Strap Lugs").

Finest camera ever made.

Don't feel bad. I developed an entire roll of .......... backing paper. 😂
