Got up to the Martineau trail system by Akeley one last time before they close it for the year.

Had a great day, but it was dry and loose.

I tried a Vimeo upload to get the quality better.     This is a second clip.

Sorry for all the grunting, especially when I'm try to pull my foot out from under the bike at the end.    Haha!

Wow that looks like a fun trail .

[Hank]

Yeah its a great place to ride.   Over 100 miles (I think) of single track in the area, and some of it is just crazy tight.
There are also a lot of miles of dual use stuff.

I think one of the longer sections of single is around 7 miles.   Thats a good workout!

"Rut got a little deep" heheh! Those suckers like to wash out the front end don't they!
Jason did you do a paid subscription to Vimeo? I tried to do some videos on Vimeo,  youtube can be a bastard, but they only wanted to give me 500mb of room for free.

[Hank]

Yeah, rut got a little deep and my damn front wheel decided to run up the right side.    Bad piloting is likely the root cause lol.

I have the free / basic version right now, which is 500MB per week and 25GB per year uploads.    500MB /wk is pretty limited for sure.

The next step up is 5GB per week and 250GB per year for 60 bucks a year.

Haven't really looked at the numbers but is it true that Vimeo looks much better than youtube? I know a lot of the timelapse guys and independent film makers use Vimeo much more than youtube.

Does anyone have any evidence to back up my assumptions?

[grubbie]

That looks a lot different this time of year with all of the leaves gone. That Martineau area is a lot of fun, the northern part of Paul Bunyan up toward Bemidji is pretty enough, but not as good for riding.
