Post work de-compression rides on the trails of Carlsbad

A wonderful thing about living in San Diego's North County is the easy access I have to many cyclocross-bike-friendly trails... and the fact that one of my adventurous pals works nearby and doesn't object to going out on occasional after-work-bike-rides with me to decompress from less-than-optimal days at the office.

Here's a favorite route (with no map or route sheet, I'm afraid. Some of these trails are better kept 'less ridden' than not... for continuing access purpose.

Lilting up storm in the background soundtrack is none other than the fabulous Elina Garanca singing the aria from Villa-Lobos' Bachianas Brasileiras #5, which is a star on her wonderful Deutsche Grammophon CD: Aria Cantilena.

  1. Bonjour Smorgy,
    Just saw your video where you used a BX bike. Don't know really what that is but it is suitable for rough terrain. I hope you enjoyed the ride in the middle of nature without cars whizzing by.

    In the beginning I had the shock problem exactly like you. Attaching the camera on the handle bar is the worst. Finally I settled for "breasty", strapping the camera with a kind of harness on your breast. Another solution is the purchase of a gimbal like RIDER-M, China made. You can get it for under 200 Dollar but first you have to find out if you can really attach your camera there because it has been made for GoPro.

    Cheers
    Georg
