Central California Coast 1200k Randonnée (3CR): The Movie

On August 7-10, 2014 I rode in the inaugural Central California Coast 1200k (750-mile) Randonnée.  It was every bit the magnificent adventure I'd hoped for, and I'll have a lot to say about it in blog posts... eventually.  (That write-up will appear in printed form first!  Randonneurs, keep an eye on your mailboxes.)  

For now, I've put together a 14-minute chronicle of the adventure.  Because the incredible scenery is key here, I recommend opening the movie full-screen high definition:

1. Click on words "YouTube" in lower right of the video.
2. Click on brackets "[  ]" on the lower-right of the video to expand it into full-screen mode.
3. Select 720p HD for the resolution (click on the gear shape under the movie and choose 720p HD).

Note that, due to what I think are copyright issues, playback on YouTube may be restricted on mobile devices, but it should be fine on a desktop or notebook.

Journeys like this are always deeply personal, but I've tried my best to capture the spirit of my ride.  I hope you enjoy it!  If you want more like this, check out my video from Alaska's Big Wild Ride 1200k last year.

Now for a bit of fun!  I made a 13-minute movie of my 1200k/750-mile bike ride in the 2013 Alaska Big Wild Ride.  

The incredible scenery is key here -- I highly recommend opening the movie in YouTube:

1. Click on the word "YouTube"
2. Select 720p HD for the resolution (click on the gear shape under the movie and choose 720p HD); and 
3. Watch it in fullscreen mode.  

Note that playback on YouTube may be restricted on mobile devices, but it should be fine on a desktop or notebook.

I hope you enjoy it!
