Manly Dam handlebar cam

Here's some footage shot from my handlebar on the fun descent from Allambie Heights down to the hydraulics lab around Manly Dam.

First attempt at uploading to youtube, so be gentle

Ahhh shame it's so far from me, otherwise I would have gone and checked it out. Looks fun.

You should have gone out front and put some more power down!

Needs a pumping soundtrack Gumby, Yakkety Sax maybe?

Looks like trailriders nirvana to me.

It's a very popular track. Being loved to death actually. Several hundred riders a day, 500 a day during the weekends. Considering the amount of use it gets, the track is standing up to the punishment remarkably well.

I quite like the techy rock drops.

I quite like the techy rock drops.

I almost went OTB 3 times on those sections
Have you tried mounting the camera on your helmet?

[trailgumby]

With the shape of that particular camera (like a bar of Palmolive Gold soap with the lense in one corner of the face) that's a bit hard. It might be possible to put it on the shoulder of your camelbak, but I'm overdue sending it back to Nate so I won't have time for that now.

I've been OTB on most of the rock drops at one time or another. Ah, that hurts

First ride back this morning after a week-long cold, my balance and stability were feeling way off the mark at first, so I took it pretty slow and careful. Seem to have come good by the second time around - back to normal, except for the HR being about 10 above normal - was hitting 180 on all the climbs and was struggling a bit. Surprisingly, was expecting to walk part of Heartbreak Hill, but I cleaned it.
