Mtb on Diogo Gomes

The Contour ROAM Action Cam

While my blog hasn’t been getting any action, I’ve gotten myself an action cam to record my MTB rides.

Two years ago my brother bought a Drift x170 and we have since recorded all of our bikes rides. The Drift x170 is a non HD camera, but even so we recorded several hours of video which we still enjoy to watch back today.

Fast forward to our days. To record video in non HD format is the equivalent of taping music in a magnetic tape in the age of CD’s. It was therefore about time to upgrade our videos to HD. And since my brother has recently moved to France, it was up to me to shell out on a new Action Cam to bring along in our MTB rides.

Maratona BTT de Aveiro

Este post tem 1 semana de atraso mas fica para a história o registo…

No passado domingo dia 12 de Setembro realizou-se a segunda maratona em BTT de Aveiro, na qual tive o prazer de participar. Não vou poder dizer que foi uma prova dura, porque na realidade eu estava muito mal preparado… acabadinho de chegar de 15 dias de férias sem nenhum treino … claro que penei para percorrer os 53km que compunham a meia-maratona.

MTB and OpenStreetMaps

Although the weather wasn’t the most pleasing, I decided to get back to my MTB weekend rides. Today (as a warmup ride) my brother and I took an all road ride to Praia da Barra, that is approximately 15km away from Aveiro.

Since I haven’t done any exercise since summer, my legs are very sore (can’t wait for tomorrow, when they will feel completely numb). But hopefully I will be back in shape in no time, in order to start doing more appealing tracks offroad.
