How do we count turns?

Here's a small section of the road I ride to work every day. Thanks to H2O and the GTS guys.

Its nine miles long and 96 turns not counting wiggles.

It helps to know, you have to go to work, after that,  McCoy.     Way cool footage    I can't tell,  whose, who

Actually that direction is on the way home for me Nelson.  I live about a mile from where the video stops.
Missed you at the CROV fall ride. You could have ridden that road and more.

The link came through the GTS Listserv.  I forwarded the link to Ron in case he hadn't seen it yet, knowing it was his neck of the woods.  I think the camera bike was a GTS ridden by Rick Davids.  Don't  know who the other riders are.

Here's the entire message:

A few here have said they enjoyed the videos I've posted in the past, so here's a new one for you lot, from a couple days ago Monday in Southern California.

Here's a little background...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a short little 6 miles of twisties rd. that we usually ride out of Tehachapi on the way to Caliente Bodfish and beyond. It goes by the Tehachapi Loop (famous railroad engineering feat), so we usually refer to it as the Tehachapi Loop Rd. map: http://tinyurl.com/yovfbv

Anyways, this has always been a slightly trecherous sandy/bumby/gravely diversion. Hey, anything is better than slab, especially if there's some turns involved.

I'm here to tell you that this road has been completely re-born with a fresh ribbon of glorious blacktop. It's so fresh that nobody has had the time to cut the corners and kick sand and gravel all over the turns (except for one, so far).

So, if you're in the neighborhood you must go out and ride this road at your first opportunity. Here's a little teaser vid including maybe a quarter or less of the road...

Is this video recent? Did they just pave that road? Damn it.....that would have been REALLY nice then!

[h2olawyer]

Ron mentioned they had just paved it a couple days after you rode it.  Talk about timing.   ::)  So, yes.  This video is recent.

Whose helmetcam was that?

[h2olawyer]

The GTS rider that posted the video says he uses a Sony lipstick camera.  That's all I know.

I have a setup from HelmetCamera . com.  (www.helmetcamera.com)  I don't have their recorder, mine plugs into a MiniDV camera.  Two mounting positions on my V - one under the headlight & the other on the side of my helmet.  Has replaceable lenses, is waterproof and works great.
