Yesterday we had meetings in the morning and started riding at noon. We were excited that it was 57 degrees. As we peddled west the wind seemed to pickup though it was not terrible. After riding through Niwot we turned north and almost immediately I was almost blown over and Rose was push towards the field. Mike wisely suggested that we turn back which we did. It was quite the ride. With a strong wind at our back I hit 40 mph. Mike's tall frame really caught the wind and he left us in the dust. The western tail wind was a great experience compared to our adventure going north.
As we were leaving the town of Niwot (being in Boulder County capital of all things Biking) a youthful man rides up to me and see this clunker phone mount I have on my bike. (My friends say my handle bar look like a dash board with the Garmin, GoPro, phone, and light.) He introduces himself as the world marketing director of this company called Nite Ize. He starts to inform me that his company has just developed a phone mount that will hold a Iphone or a Android even in a Otter box and if I would try it out he would give me one. Now he takes off his phone from the mount on his bike and proceeds to remove the mount and gives it to me. All this in the time of a stop light. I am supposed to evaluate it, get rid of the albatross on my bike and put my thoughts on their website.This all happened so fast that I can't remember his name. But what a cool experience.
There will be no riding today or tomorrow but I have a ton of technology to learn. Between the blog site, the GoPro and a new fancy film editor I will be quite busy.
