First things first... Lala past away a few days ago, so this ride is deticated to her.
I got the new camera mount today and immediately got it from the mailbox and put it on my bike. Unfortunately, the clamp was too big for the handlebar. I found a shim for the Garmin computer mount. It fit perfect. So, I aligned everything and tightened the screws. I was very very skeptical. I thought there would be VERY little difference. This ride was awesome in many regards. First, I scorched the route today. Probably top 3 or 4 in all of the time I've ridden that route. I was suffering, but it was manageable. My lower back was aching the most, so I had to stretch whenever I had the chance. So, when I got home, I got my camera gear, ran upstairs, copied the videos/images to my computer and had the timelapse videos encoded. So, cutting to the chase, when I saw the realtime videos, I was BLOWN away. I couldn't believe that the image was rock solid, with an acceptable amount jitter. If I didn't know any better, I would say that there were almost no bumps on the ride that I did. Nothing could be further from the truth. So, I'm keeping this mount, no doubt. I decided that I want to do the Wall to Wall ride on Sunday. I need to show up at 1:30pm at Keene. I'll see how that goes. I'm a a little reluctant to ride on the 58, but if there's enough riders (say, over 100), then I'm game. We'll see how that turns out.

I forgot to mention that in the first few miles of the ride my left Pelvic bone was hurting. After about 5 miles it went away. Not sure what to make of it, but I thought I'd document it.
