Enjoyed all of it. Thanks
Well...I had a lot of help. Those ~16,000 images taken with the GoPro - along with a good GPS track file - was able to help me remember where I was in the entire journey.Your commitment to detailing your days is commendable. Your rewards will come in paper form.........IBA Certification. Finally, congratulations.

So, ~15,800 images were NOT used in the ride report, simply because it was just another series of photos that got me to the part of the story that was worth mentioning.
It's a whole lot easier to come up with a photo caption, while letting the photo help tell the story at that moment than it is to come up with a few sentences.
Sometimes, like on the trip home, you need both.
I'm glad it was enjoyed - I had fun re-living the ride while doing that.
Four frames a minute - naah, there'd be people gouging out the eyeballs after a few minutes of that! Way too slowMath time.
16,000 frames lasting .25 seconds each would give us 4000 seconds of video. Which translates to 66.667 minutes to watch a time lapse of over 8 days. It would probably look a bit like the keystone cops. What do you think?

Hi Ken,A second camera is positioned on the left-side aux light bracket. The GoPro is set up to take an image every 30 seconds. What am I going to do with over 19,000 images? I'll show you a few of them that will enhance the story - I hope.
Math time.

From a coment earlier in this thread...a bit of an update:
I'm working on a SS4000 (gah!) video for YouTube, but the math for those attempting to figure this out...
Recording capture rate is 2 photos per minute (120 per hour) while I'm riding - or not screwing up getting the damn camera turned on properly. A couple of d'oh moments!
One second of video is created from ~4m 48s (before my final video file is generated, I slow everything down 20%) of video.
The final ratio is 1 / 288 - a second of video is 288 seconds of life.
Traveling at 65MPH, that second of video above ends up being roughly 5.2 miles.
Cramming 4 days of riding into a less than ten minute long video is a challenge.
Fortunately, the speed controls on YT can help with timing as well.
