So I mentioned that my buddy Jesus Beltran, we just call him Chin, videotaped the last S240 to Samuel P Taylor Park.
A couple months prior I helped him with a cycling video. We liked it but felt it didn't really portray the real reason why cyclist like going out on two wheels to ride bikes. Like most of you the mileage of any bike trip doesn't really matter it's the company and the experiences you get from trip. 
When I got my new bike Chin was super animate about wanting to do another film with the new Sam so I suggested he should come along on the s240. 
I think he did an amazing job portraying the sheer joy of riding bikes with a couple of friends. 
Hope you all enjoy it.

Video proved that it happened:

My buddy that filmed it is an accomplished film maker. Some of his other work can be found here:

P.S.

Heres the older video we did prior to the trip. Not really Rivendell related but I thought you locals would enjoy the scenery most of it was filmed in the Oakland hills.

your friend did a fantastic job with both videos... he's very talented.  The s24o video was very inspiring... maybe Grant should add that to the s24o website?

Inspiring and well done, Chin, and Manny (actor!)  I really enjoyed watching it unfold.

Super enjoyable.  Took me right back to our time exploring the Marin Headlands and SF.

Make sure to tell Jesus a big thank you, and make request to keep making and posting videos like these that push and cultivate the unracing side of bicycling.

Maybe if he can show people what we're up with quick video clips like this, they'll "get it" and understand how much pleasure can come out of a bicycle adventure.

Excellent vids! The s24o one makes me glad I've got some bike campouts in coming down the pipe. --Andy
