I find that taking photos on a longer, or more strenous ride to be a nice distraction, and even re-energizing. taking a nice pic is a reminder of why i enjoy cycling so much - i sometimes need that reminder during those tough stretches of road ;) and some moments are just too good to *not* take a picture of, no matter the circumstances. earlier this fall, I met up with a group doing the 6 gap ride in VT. there was a couple on a tandem and I couldn't wait to take pictures of them going up the east side of Lincoln Gap - what bicycling magazine calls the "toughest mile in America." not something I normally do when ascending that hill, but that feat needed to be memorialized! in any event, i don't find that taking pictures slows me down appreciably for casual rides/brevets/etc. - maybe 10-15mins per 100 miles? what do you consider significant and why is the loss of time an issue - is it preventing you from riding with the group? i suppose it also depends on how serious you are about the quality of photos. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
