    Default Spyder on the Pocono Raceway!

    I was out at a charity run this weekend, where we did three laps on the Pocono Raceway. I was able to capture the video with my new Garmin Virb. A lot of fun!

    Thanks! Yes, that is part of the Garmin "Virb Edit" software. You can connect all sorts of other sensors to it too. The even have a wireless obd sensor.

    did you find the tunnel turn bumpy? I've heard NASCAR guys complain about the bump.

    No, I have no clue. There was someone else on the track beforehand, I am thinking it might have been some sort of racing school. That was pretty dangerous though, I am not sure if that could have caused a regular motorcycle to go out of control at high speeds (many went 100+)

    Great video and it was nice to see from head movement you were maintaining a 360 awareness, not always done by some cyclists.

    Either they did not give a proper safety brief or no one paid attention. Those cones laying on their side mean you are supposed to stay to the side of them in the direction they are pointing. Standard rule in almost all racing organizations.

    Thank you! Yep, that 360 awareness is absolutely essential, especially on the track.
