Overall average speed: 6.1 mph (second half was much harder going and so much slower, average speed for the out trip was 8.4 mph)
Top speed: 13.4 mph
I attached a camera to the handle bars and took time lapse -an image every 10 seconds. Quite a few of the images are blurred - this is down to the very bumpy terrain.
Outward journey - along the cycle path. Unfortunately I didn't notice that the camera wasn't doing its stuff until I was halfway there.
Arriving at Glasson I enjoyed watching the world go by as I drank tea from my newly bought flask.
Every other time I have done this bike ride I have ridden back along the same route.
Today I decided to try routes new and cycle along the canal. This is more of a footpath than a cycle path and very narrow in parts. Thankfully it was not windy so there was slightly less chance of falling into the canal. Negotiating going under the bridges is particularly arduous.
Well, aren't you Ms. Creative! That is so cool. But how in the world did your camera know to take a pictiure every 10 seconds????? Is there a setting for that...or a special program?? Or perhaps an Anne trick???
ReplyDeleteHa ha Ginnie, no, not a trick :) I kept my Pentax WG-1 specifically for its ability to be set to time lapse. It is shockproof too so I don't have too many worries about it being on my bike.
ReplyDeleteI got a cable release for the Canon Powershot and it can be used to set up for time lapse. The problem I have found with it though is that the Canon seems only to stay on for a maximum of three minutes, and I haven't found a way of overriding that, so it means I couldn't do plant movement time lapse where I would be using time intervals of 10 or more minutes. I have a feeling I maybe tried it out on the hoverfly post I put on this blog in July.
