Up until today I biked every day in June. I decided to take a rest day and start next week with rested legs. This week marks the 10th in a row of 200+ miles. June mileage stands at 443.18<\/strong>, 55% of the way to my 800<\/strong> mile goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My bikes, Canyon Endurace and Lynskey R300, carried me 3,882 miles so far this year. My Blue Norcross AL bike, mounted on a Wahoo Snap smart trainer added 542 miles as I rode in Zwift. Zwift is on hold for the summer but will return in the fall. I noticed the tires on the Blue bike softened in my absence, time to air them up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Road construction challenges my biking with several routes not suitable for biking. Soon FM 2100 construction will interfere with a route I use every week. I may need to drive to starting spots like I did last Friday in Galveston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My YouTube channel<\/strong><\/a> contains clips from my bike rides. Subscribers are few but I enjoy creating the videos after completing rides. Sometimes the video shows scenes I did not notice while on the bike. I like looking in the background for surprises. My GoPro Hero7 Black takes great video but the camera freezes at unpredictable times. Hopefully I can find a solution. I bought a cheap action camera (Akaso V50X 7000<\/a><\/strong>) on Amazon to see if it is more reliable. For awhile I struggled getting good audio in the video but the GoPro mic adapter solved that in combination with a lapel mic. Video production on a moving studio can be interesting. I did find out that the GoPro can survive a fall from my bike. Next the Akaso arrives and I will put it to the test. Last week I moved the GoPro from my helmet to the handlebars of the Canyon and Lynskey. This lowered the weight on my head and neck and the camera angle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
