It is the same trail but in the daylight with fresh snow
Using Gyroflow and Telemetry Overlay --- poor computer spent a few hours rendering both of them.
And @VWsurfbum found me here half way down a trail

Early morning rides can be, without a doubt, incredibly rewarding especially with a little extra fat. 
That looks beautiful.Early morning rides can be, without a doubt, incredibly rewarding especially with a little extra fat.
I rode the Norco BF along the Pines single after several freeze and thaw cycles which left much of the trail looking a bit sketchy particularly the off-camber segments. There is still snowpack but what remains is a far cry from the condition it was in a little over a week ago. It’s been such a bizarre winter season up to this point and it will be hard to predict what this month has in store for us.
Not recent but footage of my ride up to Powderface Ridge last summer just outside of the townsite of Bragg Creek, AB. Not sure if the climb up to top of the ridge was more difficult or the descent. The views were spectacular so there is some truth to the proverb of no pain no gain.
One word sums that video up. WOWEarly morning rides can be, without a doubt, incredibly rewarding especially with a little extra fat.
The pre-dawn wake up call was certainly warranted which made for more favorable ground conditions and the sunrise was the proverbial icing on the cake.One word sums that video up. WOW

Just getting use to my first e-mtb.... had it a few weeks now and my non-emtb hasn't had an outing since.
I thought I'd risk posting one of my rides. Last Sunday our son was racing in the Gorrick Brass Monkeys Round 3 race at Minley (army land). We went to watch and support. I went back today to ride a couple of laps of the race course. Very enjoyable and riding well (the trails not me). No spectacular features but just a nice route. The video shows just a few bits of the course.

Looks a great place to ride to me, great video, great riding too pal.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Where I live is in the middle of lots of Army training land.... Minley (in the video) Porridgepot (G2), Tunnel Hill, D1 and D2 army test tracks, Ash Ranges, Long Valley. Some are open to the public all of the time - Minley for instance... and others are sometimes closed to the public. It changes all the time with the restricted ones but you can look on the MOD website for opening times. With the ones open to the public you have to co-exist with the army training and keep out of their way. My personal experience has always been very good and today was an example where I came across them a few times but they were friendly and gave me space. However, I take the view that they are there Working, I'm there Playing.
Sorry mate but I just checked where it is, I sort of thought it was closer to where I live, oh well
thanks anyway for your reply though

Went for a solo spin found an ex local who now lives in Scotland and rode a while with him
The last time Me and Mr Stump went to Chicksands, it didn't end well, but we always seemed to have fun, this time I was hungover and lacking in confidence, as always the camera makes it all look a bit Meh.
I then got home and took the captain out.

Home trails in Germany (Kleve). On my Canyon Torque during sunset. The trails are short But still fun. you get enough height meters when you combine all the small sections ;-)
Used a GoPro 12. Only the Chest Mount was not mounted well enough. The footage is not that stable
.
Home trails. Now on my Spectral ON CFR LTD.

I don't know what chest mount you are using but I can recommend the Stuntman Chest Mount. It used to be available through Amazon but not sure if that's still the case. They do a variety of fixing as well. It's a very sturdy mount.Home trails in Germany (Kleve). On my Canyon Torque during sunset.

I'm not planning to regularly post videos of my rides as I'm not a great rider, I don't do spectacular jumps etc, etc and most of my rides are local to me in southern England... not North Shore, The Alps.
However, I thought I'd post my ride from today as it illustrates the type of ride I was imagining when I first thought about getting an e-mtb towards the backend of 2023. As a 76 year old I was starting to find climbing more and more of a chore. I could still manage it but it was starting to limit what I chose to ride. So today's ride was climb, descend and repeat over at Tunnel Hill (Army training land near Pirbright).

That would be good. It's shame that Porridgepot is closed off for most of February (Yes, I know there are ways around that). Perhaps drop me a pm if you want to arrange something? Btw. I'm old and slow, so be warned.
