Let’s Ride

I have always admired the short film, “C’était un rendez-vous”, by Claude Lelouch.  It is eight minutes of extreme speed through the streets of Paris.  Actually, it took place in 1976.  Some people argue that it was an S-class speeding through the streets, while others say it was a Ferrari.  Regardless of the type of car used, it was a grand short film. 

A few people have asked me countless times about where I live and what the surrounding area looks like.  I reckon they are not happy with the thousands of photos on flickr?

Anyway, I had planned to get up early this morning and record my ascent up into the mountains.  I had hoped to get up before dawn and get to Caesar’s Head during dawning.  The alarm clock didn’t go off due to a brown out, so I didn’t get up until after daybreak. 

Anyway, I did it just to show you all what the roads look like around here.  It would have been a much better video had I woken up!  :)

I may do another one in the morning, when I go downtown to walk.  Hopefully, gootube will not muck it up.

P.S.:  Close to the end, the camcorder went airborne due to me taking a 15mph curve at 25mph.  :)
