Either add another small link so that you can push it farther back by getting it farther away from you or as another commenter posted turn it upside down, but instead of post processing and flipping the video, just make that change in the menu settings of the GoPro so that it films upside down. “Could someone who’s gotten that thing to work for them please let me know how to use that thing?”

Use a wall wart. Oh yeah, but don’t plug the Garmin into a computer. Use a wall wart.

We'll be doing our 100 MoN on June 9th due to scheduling conflicts and we're really looking forward to it. As a side note, if the Garmin issue ever comes up again you can charge it without losing your data by just turning it off first. Don't reset it, just power it down (that part's critical) and then plug it in. When you're ready to ride just power it back up and hit the "Start" button. You'll pick right back up where you left off. Awesome ride report Fatty! We’ll be doing our 100 MoN on June 9th due to scheduling conflicts and we’re really looking forward to it.

So sorry about the loss of your father to cancer, and my thoughts are with your brother-in-law who is battling it now as well.... F cancer indeed! If it's not inappropriate, I would like to suggest that others on Team Fatty who are not coming to Davis this year make a donation via Fatty (as our Team Captain) in memory of AKChick's dad and the many others who have battled cancer and lost, or are continuing to fight the good fight! Please, please do not bring up Lance. This is not about him, it's about Livestrong and the services they provide for real people fighting cancer. AKChick hasd been a long time Livestrong supporter so let's keep it all positive. Here is the link to Fatty's Livestrong Davis website page: http://laf.convio.net/site/TR/Challenge/Challenge?px=1005058&pg=personal&fr_id=1400 Even though we are riding the event, David and I are making an additional donation right now in honor of AKChick's dad. She's been a special part of Team Fatty since before I have been around. I am feeling very sad for you right now Sasha! Sending you big hugs! AKChick – our hearts are with you.

Is pooping ever not part of your ride preparation? Still have to find a route for New York City. Great ride report! Is pooping ever not part of your ride preparation?

Still have to find a route for New York City.

I'm not sure when I'm going to do my 100 MoN. I am in North Carolina until Saturday (all day traveling back to Alaska). My dad passed away on Tuesday due to complications from pancreatic cancer. It's been a rough few days. He had surgery last fall and had lost too much weight so was too weak to get through chemo and radiation. The cancer came back in multiple spots and within two weeks, he was gone. Myself and one of my sisters who lives in Minnesota couldn't get down here in time so we talked to him on the phone and told a few of our favorite memories. My other sisters said that they really thought he could hear us by how he reacted. He had been in a lot of pain, so I'm so thankful he is no longer in pain, but incredibly sad that he is gone and we had so many things planned. He was only 72. Each of his brothers has had cancer - 1 brother had prostate cancer 10 years ago, 1 had prostate cancer a couple years ago, one had testicular cancer and just finished treatment last year and then my dad was diagnosed. His sister avoided cancer as she had a colonoscopy and had a precancerous polyp removed and her colon was re-sectioned. I'm dedicating my 100 MoN and all my rides to my dad. I'm really going to miss him. My heart will be in Davis with Team Fatty this year. You pick the most punishing routes!

No need to flip in editing, however, as you can flip in your Settings on the camera itself before recording. The LED in the front even flips. Pretty cool. I also find that upside down works better with the K-Edge handle bar mount as the camera isn't sticking up above the bar. Just have to make sure cables aren't in the way of the lens.
