In the time since my last post on the subject, I've managed to get to
grips with shooting video on the bike, got myself a youtube account
(see below) and managed to rule out the possibility of
doing any more (non-handheld) bike video with my proper camera. No big
deal, and no bad thing when the mini video camera I have in mind is
suitably weatherproof in a way my camera certainly isn't. I've already
achieved what I wanted, namely to work out whether it's possible to
produce onboard footage that'll be discarded 90% of the time, and for
the remaining 10% to be of sufficient quality to be worth sharing.

As I also mentioned, my bargain heart rate monitor watch is providing
lots of fun and opportunities to monitor what effects exercise is
having, and now I know what I'll be doing with my holiday this year
that's of more than academic interest. I was wondering if it was going
to be an extravagance, but it's turned into one of those things I now
wonder how I ever did without. Time will tell what difference a bit
more exercise and training makes, but even if there's no big
improvement it's a good start to know exactly where I am.
