Yo, Mirinda's Right


Finishing touches and render of the Oceanside 70.3 highlight video, brought to you by the good folks at, ahem, CompuTrainer Multi-Rider Real Course Video. That pretty much leaves the rest of the day to rest for the days ahead. Here is a quote from Women's Champ Mirinda Carfrae on her success: Without opening up her training Bible for all to read, Carfrae said she plans to log more bike miles and more intense work on the CompuTrainer. Speaking of the plan she’s hatched with coach Siri Lindley, Carfrae said, “We’ve got a couple ideas. We’ll see what works.” Yo, Mirinda, So far-so good!!! Congrats and we'll try to get an interview with her in St. George.

The Tour Battenkill Pro-Am is Saturday. It is the largest Pro-Am cycling event of it's kind in the US of A and RCVman will be there. It is a 100k loop that mirrors the classic European, Paris-Robioux style road race. Some of the course is gravel. It winds, undulating through the Adirondacs and past several villages and towns. There is nary a Wal-Mart or Costco along the route. It is real racing, not sold in bulk or at deep discount.

Weather permitting, as one of the several disclaimers, we will bring you some serious cycling action as captured by the RCVman himself, always one step ahead of disaster and a single pedal rotation from triumph. Or something to that dramatic effect. Should be fun regardless of tagline.

Oceanside 70.3 highlight vid up tomorrow.

What a day it was! I truly enjoyed being your pilot and riding low and close around the many turns on the Tour of the Battenkill. If the clip of the dirt climb on Stage Rd that I saw through you view finder is any indication, this will be some great shoot.
Your'e awesome!

Hey David, THANK YOU!!!
Truly a spectacular day all around. I looked at almost all of the footage last night and the bug didn't touch down until just before the feed station, so we're good with 95% of the video. It looks good. Thanks for the smooth ride and well look for ya out West for the ToC. It was an honor to ride the Battenkill with you and the golden Buddha. I will have some video samples up next week. Cheers.
