Santa Cruz to Big Sur Bike Ride 2011

I finally got to finish the video of our recent ride to Big Sur via Santa Cruz by bicycle. We had a blast! Great weather and the scenic California Highway 1 made for a spectacular trip. It was also my introduction to longer bike rides. It really makes me think about the next one, Lake Tahoe to Bishop going down California Highway 395 would be awesome.

So I had a few video options while out on the bikes, but I think the most used was the Go Pro Hero camera because it was able to fit in the side pocket of my back pack ensuring quick access at almost any time. Next was the brand new Canon G12 with the improved high def video that really surprised me. The quality of footage from the Canon G12 is stunning. Then finally, I had my Canon 7d in the back pack because you never know when you'll need a bit more power. I only busted that thing out a few times.

The weekend was capped off nicely by climbing down to Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur to jump through the waterfall that hits the sand and flows right into the great Pacific Ocean.
