*** CHANNEL INFORMATION ***
My goal is to post videos during the Chicagoland riding season (roughly April to November) every MONDAY and if I have extra videos to post I post those on THURSDAY. (Weather, holidays, YouTube processing, time spent editing & life in general can cause delays). When I research new bike trails to ride I use AllTrails, TrailLink & Google Maps. When I’m out on a trail I use AllTrails to follow the map and to record a GPS track of the ride.
Videos are edited in Final Cut Pro. I use Telemetry Overlay for the GPS Overlays, Adobe Stock for stock footage & Epidemic Sound for my music. Do you create content? Try Epidemic Sound for free…
