Marathon Training Bike Ride: Time Lapse using Go Pro Hero 6 on a Handlebar Mount

I'm running the 2023 Mountains to Beach Marathon to try and qualify for the 2024 Boston Marathon.

I planned this training ride to include a number of hills to help build up my quads during cross training which will help in the gradually long downhill marathon route.

This video shows how I set up my Go Pro Hero6 camera on a handlebar mount to take a time lapse video of the ride. I powered the camera remotely from my saddlebag so it could last the whole ride without the battery running out.

Also it was sprinkling at the start of the ride, so the fact that I had a battery recharging the battery in the camera while I was riding kept the camera warm and helped it survive the rain.

This was also a test run for a geocaching bike ride I'm doing in Washington later this year to find the only surviving "Planet of the Apes" geocache still active in North America:

That cache is located on the other side of an abandoned train tunnel that's 2.25 miles long. You have to provide your own light!
