I'm afraid even though it's a HD camera I only upload SD quality. I'm impatient and like to use my internet bandwidth for other things.
Keep an eye out for the multi camera video from Peeteey yet to come.

Ha ha, I hear you about 'quick'! "Quick edit" is an oxymoron isn't it?

My video may be a little way off as the RSI is having fun with me arms after lots of guitar and that Oxford trail ride ... I'll chip away at it when I can.

Photoshop and any video program that has a wipe transition in it that can wipe at various angles. I used Adobe Premiere which isn't cheap but even windows movie maker or apple iMovie should do it.
I took screen shots from that gmap link I put up with and without the route drawn on, then in photo shop put the two together layered with the route one on top, then erased the route in several sections saving new pictures as I went. (only saved three times IIRC) then add the new map pictures to the video with the wipe between them. Easier to do than say, yet can take hours to make it look ok. Did you follow that?

Pretty sure I've ridden past that or through there several times on my mountain bike, but more often on my motorbike.

Cheers man, We'll definitely do another one soon! I really need to start writing down who has off road bikes, my memory is shocking! I always forget you've got the GS even tho I've got it on video!

Any body interested in doing the CCC Loop on the 6th August?. The boss is out of town that weekend so might even be able to sneek in a second ride on the Sunday as well. Also I've now got the porker tank for the KTM so want to try our fuel range and how long I can handle the 2x4 seat.

Anyway CCC loop. Been searching through old threads. First done back in 2006, then again in 2007, 2009 and possibly a couple of other times. Good day out with about 300km. Mix of seal, gravel, dirt and grass. Will be a crusy ride re pace and difficulty so those of lesser experience are welcome to join us.

Probably a 9.30 am start at the Peg with lunch in Cheviot. Home mid to late afternoon depending if XF650 can wrangle a scenic route home from Culverden.

Put it in your diaries now

Cheers R

I'm not working so should be able to make it, I would be keen to come home through MacDonald Downs to Loburn
