  • It's been almost a year since I've been out on the bikes to do a ride and video. Through the re-occurrence of an old debilitating back injury and COVID, it's been impossible to do so until now. Feels SO good to be riding again.
    This is just a short ride to Taralga NSW for a coffee with friends at the Grand Ettie Cafe.

    Hopefully, more rides to come!!

    Finally someone near the ACT sharing some good rides and roads! Sorry to hear your back has been a bugger but great to see you back on the bike. Thanks, will definitely check out the cafe at Taralga.

      Thanks, there are some outstanding rides to the north of the ACT. Including great roads leading to Blayney and Oberon where there is almost nil traffic. Hoping to do a video of those in the next few months.

    Great to see you out and about again. I just wanted to say thank you for your videos, they helped me a lot during lockdown

      Thanks for that. It's been tough. I went through a period where I was doubting I would be able to ride again. So happy to be back on the bikes and doing what I love. I'll do another "Long Way Just For Coffee" in the next two weeks, then I'm off for an amazing 8 day ride in March. Hoping to make some good videos of that as well.

    Love your Channel & your videos, especially the Long way for coffee series.
    May I ask, what set up you have for your GoPro remotes? I've only ever seen the single mounts available & would love to get a double set up.
    Thanks

      Tudor, Glad you like the channel. What I do is far from perfect, but I try my best. You will notice on this video that I am using three cameras. All GoPro 7 Black with a controller for each camera. Two controllers mounted on the one velcro strap wrapped around the front break oil reservoir and the third on a shortened velcro strap on the left mirror mount just where it attaches to the handlebar. For me, the controllers are a must. Impractical to be reaching up to turn the chin mounted camera on with gloves. Impossible to turn the two rear cameras without controllers. Are the GoPro remotes foolproof? No. With GoPro, there are systemic issues and shortcomings with their technology. The main ones being software/firmware bugs, connection to microphones, poor battery life, wind noise management and overheating. Just to name a few. I might put together a short video on my camera setup and approach. Take care.
