New Camera-GoPro Hero Wide

I just purchased the GoPro Helmet Hero Wide camera from GoPro and thought I'd test it out with some friends on the Chutes this weekend. We headed out at 6 am to beat the heat. Here's the first video. Here's a few first impressions:

- Very lightweight, but noticeable on the helmet
- We rode into the sun and the video is a litte dark
- Tightening the mounts difficult and they tended to slip
- Great wide angle shots
- Image stability outstanding

More later when I've had a chance to do a little more testing.

Kentucky Camp Trail

The "Hotel" at Kentucky Camp


This is one of the best mountain bike trails in southern Arizona. It’s got something for everyone, except those who crave extremely technical rides. The trail winds its way through grassy fields, mountain foothills and high-desert flora. Not only is it beautiful and fun, you can take a trip back in time to the late 1800s! You get to visit Kentucky Camp and ride along a portion of the famous Arizona Trail. At only an hour and a half from Tucson, it’s a trail that shouldn’t be missed! The last mile of the trail can be accessed by car and it's a great spot for the younger children to learn to mountain bike
