Video from the Galibier
God I love riding. This was an epic day. Poor old Mike did all the work up the Col du Telegraphe, but I was Menchoving so well that day, when he flicked his elbow, all he got was cold, steely Russian “Nyet”. Hhahaa.
Anyway, it was all high-larious up the Galibier then I wacked the gas on.
Fun times. Continue reading
AWESOME iPhone Camera App
You know what’s rad? When I find things that make my life easier, or radder.
So, this app makes on-the-fly application of pre-configured filters to your iPhone photos EASY PEASY.
