This was an experiment using a new handle bar mount for a RCA video camera. The ride video is a little shaky as I hit bumps on the trails. I could probably lessen the bumps by lowering the tire pressure. The big problem is the noise from my WTB knobby tires. This buzz is from the tires.<\/p>\n<hr align=\"left\" width=\"75%\" \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>Tweets<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">My stats on the 2013 Arbor Day Challenge in McAllen, Tx. <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/yS8W6Cx0\">http:\/\/t.co\/yS8W6Cx0<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/strava?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#strava<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Daniel Cruz (@DCRUZ547) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DCRUZ547\/status\/300399761201188864?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 10, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/bikenoob\/status\/300398397175787520<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">RT: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/marianne_vos?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@marianne_vos<\/a>: Riding for home crowd <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Sannecant?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Sannecant<\/a> rode a strong race &amp; pushed me, but in the end I take a close win @LilleCX. &lt; you rock!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; the ghost of TexasCX (@TexasCX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TexasCX\/status\/300388740126359552?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 9, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today&#39;s ride was a nice size.
