I just started, but with one, onehundredandeighteen: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/94742567
More tomorrow.
What did you use to record the clip? Your camera or your iphone?
Just to complete the story of my double from last weekend with one, onehundredandsixteen: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/96334401
That’s 234km back to back, with about 2300m altitude gain. I’ll try three days in a row when I’m semi-retired.
Well done, Herr Kaa. I just finished my last 100 today, so a week of tapering and that’s it. Our training is complete, young Jedi. I wonder where we meet the Dark Lord, Galibier or Alpe d’Huez?
At first, I thought the camera was attached to your helmet. I couldn’t imagine how you looked to the side for such incredibly long periods! LOL It’s very nice to attached a voice to the face. Perhaps I’ll break out the video function at some point!
Thanks. I really didn’t think I could embed videos until I tried. I think it was the space upgrade I made a couple weeks ago. But agreed, videos take a bit more dexterity…
Fartleking in a new dimension! Nice work, and really steady, impressed that there was no sudden stop into a plane tree as you were passing your Roman garden!
I noticed a reasonable turn of speed climbing the hill – striking fear into the minds and legs of your fellow E’Tape competitors?…and then smugly smile as you pass em!
Thanks, Steve. It’s trickier work than photos for sure. I think my main obstacle today was tourists, not plane trees, though. It was like an obstacle course getting over the Pont du Gard. And yeah, I was thinking the video made me look like I was going fast as well. I’m pretty sure that’s an optical illusion…
OH Yeah, the tourists……bonus points for hitting them! Having been to Pont du Gard, I must admit some sharp breath intakes as I watched the video, as I know how narrow the pathways are…..but they all seemed to be pretty relaxed by your smooth mooves, it wold not have been the same here I can tell you! (perhaps they knew they were going to star on your blog)
Sorry for the delay, we are having problems sourcing a SFR SIM with the data plan that is supposed to be available for our iPhone 4…..Perhaps it is a bloody minded Parisienne attitude – we tries 3 of them, so we have arrived in Le Mans last night, and are now in a “American Fast Food” chain’s carpark sponging some of their free WiFi to catch up with emails and other mandatory web sites!
We will try a SFR in Le Mans to see if they are more agreeable, and hopefully then be able to re-join the global community!
I hope it is OK to do this on your blog, but our email address here is julia_steve@me.com
Good luck with L’Etape, we will be thinking of you!!
Looking forward to seeing Friday’s stage, hopefully with some fine weather!
Good luck with SFR. I think I remember that they only have that deal for iPhone 3, but really not sure. Hope you can get it worked out. thanks for the words of encouragement!

That’s a fair bit of climbing for your area. Well done. We’re off to Cantal tomorrow for an overnight stay. Will definitely load up on protein there!
I used the camera. No video on my old iPhone.

Hi Gerry,
We leave tomorrow for France, and I am wondering what is the best way to be able to catch up?
I look forward to your advice,
Cheers
Steve
Steve, did you get my email? I sent you my contact details.

Friday was great, as you’d expect, so looking forward to Wednesday when we have a look at that day’s stage!
