When I did the Bike Cam video the place where I stopped at was my half way point, the place where I would rest before I got back on and turned around to go back home. That was 16 miles round trip. Well, since then I've added to my bike ride. I was going 19 miles then 20 miles then 21 miles and now I'm going all the way to China Grade so my bike ride is now 22 miles round trip.
So since I'm going to China Grade now, the next time I ride I will bring the camera with me and when I get to Manor St. instead of going through the tunnel I will set my camera up on the handlebars and then continue through the tunnel from there and go all the way to China Grade before stopping the camera.
This of course means that I will have to leave the house at 5am instead of the usual 4:30am because when I get to Manor St. the sun isn't even up yet and I don't think doing a video in the dark is very productive lol. Especially since I don't have a light for the camcorder.
Anyway, tomorrow is my day off from riding, I do 3 days on then 1 day off to give my body (and now especially because of the new seat) some time to heal. So Thursday morning I will take the camera with me and video tape it and then by Thursday afternoon the video will be on YouTube.
If you want to help me before then, suggest a couple of songs for me to buy to put in the video via a comment.

Day 3 With My New Bike Seat
Today is the 3rd day and final blog post about my new Ergo bicycle seat. I'm getting used to it more and now instead of just being strange it's starting to feel normal.
It's still too hard for my butt so I still plan on buying another gel seat cover and cutting off the nose (to spite it's face? lol) then of course sewing it back up so I can just put that on top of the seat. The sheepskin is nice but it's a winter coat for a bike seat, not a summer coat heh. Hopefully by winter I will be able to slip the sheepskin over the gel but I'm not quite sure how that's going to work out so we'll see.
I still highly recommend "the Bicycle Seat" but I would go with the gel seat if you have a fat ass like mine and you don't like hard seats lol.

Jackson 3?
Joe Jackson has said in an interview "who else is going to raise those kids?". Uh, anybody but YOU! He was saying that he can see some talent in Paris and that Blanket can dance. He already sees dollar $ign$ in his eyes. Can you imagine if this fool gets his hands on those kids? History will repeat if he gets his hands on these children and I just know that he will start beating them and he will take their childhood away from them.
Michael Jackson said that when he thinks about Joe Jackson he regurgitates and Joe said "yeah, regurgitates all the way to the bank". This man has ice in his veins not blood. He can not get his hands on these kids. I think that if they want to be performers that should be their decision and not forced on them.
As I said earlier, Joe Jackson said there is nobody else to take care of the kids. And you think that YOU are the only one who is capable of taking care of kids? What about Janet? What about Germaine? What about Diana Ross? What about their birth mother?!?! I think there are plenty of people who are more capable of raising a child let alone 3 children than you are Mr. Jackson. You need to go away and get off camera please.

Day 2 With New Bike Seat
Yesterday I felt everything was against me. My back tire had a bump in it, my computer wire was cut from the pimple in the front tire and my seat just wasn't comfortable at all.
But yesterday I fixed the back tire by putting in a different tube, not the presta but the other valve, I fixed the wires for the computer and I adjusted my seat ok.
Today I woke up late. I normally set the alarm to wake me up at 4am but I guess I forgot last night because I woke up at 5:30am. So I was able to leave at 6am. I thought the world was going to be against me again but it was ok.
I thought that yesterdays last adjustment of the seat was good where I made it so it's forward and not backward but that wasn't good at all. I just felt like I was going to fall off. When I got to the bike trail I decided I need to adjust it yet again so I just moved it back 1 notch and it was good the rest of the trip.
I did my 20 miles and all was good. Although, I need to sit in the Shiatsu massager for awhile because my back is killing me from that lol. It's like my arms are pushing too hard on the handlebars or something. I'm sure that I will be comfortable with this new seat and then there won't be any problem.
Oh one last thing, when I was looking at the website where I bought the new seat from I was debating on if I should buy the cheapest seat by itself or maybe with the sheepskin. Or maybe I should buy the gel seat I just don't know. So I emailed the website asking them for their opinion and the guy who runs it said that he uses the classic with sheepskin so I took his word for it and bought that. Big mistake.
I should've taken into consideration that sheepskin is going to be hot during the summer lol. DUH! And I really do need that gel seat. It's just too bad that I gave my old seat along with the gel cover to a neighbor. I could've cut the gel part and sewn it to the bottom of the sheepskin. Or I could just cut it at the crotch area and just make my own cover with the fabric that it has on it. Just a little nip and tuck here and I could've used it. Oh well, maybe next check I can buy another gel seat cover from Walmart or Target and just cut it up and put it on there.
