Celebrating Strasburg, Colorado, a small, friendly town in the plains east of Denver...
No bicycle video today, but how about seeing how the awesome sub I eat whenever I ride to the Byers Country Store is made?!:
Actually, what you see there is two subs being made (kind of three actually). This time my wife and son met me at the store and we had lunch together. So, first is her sub…and then his and mine (he eats the half with no vegetables).
A big five bulls recommendation for the Byers Country Store!
My oldest son is in down for a few days, so he an I beat the heat today by heading for a bicycle ride before the temperatures got into the 90s.
Yes, he made dad feel old. (I used to “pull” him along on bicycle rides back in New Hampshire. No longer.)
Either way, here’s a quick couple minute version of the ride. (GoPro Time Lapse at 30x.)
Happy Monday!
P.S. “Lucky Day – Instrumental” by Zac Nelson (from Storyblocks Audio).
I just returned from another bicycle ride (and a yummy Byers General Store meatball sub midway). As I was cleaning up the remains of my lunch, I received a storm warning for Strasburg.
Now, the adult thing to do would have been to wait it out. Instead I unpacked the GoPro, climbed on my bicycle, and started videotaping in case I got caught in dope storm. (I have been told that “dope” is the new “rad.”)
I got a little rain on me at the end, but, alas, nothing worthy of showing you the video. Here’s a snapshot of the south, though, as I stopped to guzzle some water…
Although it’s a little deep into the celebrations to begin a running Strasburg Hometown Days post…better late than never, right?! Updates will be added on top (right under this introductory paragraph).
From yesterday, here is a quick bicycle Time Warp video from our home in Strasburg to the Byers General Store:
Byers General Store has awesome food! 🙂
(And great people too…)
This is the second trip where I enjoyed a meatball sub as my halfway reward.
Hot day. Hovering around 90 degrees the whole time. Beautiful otherwise.
This was filmed using the GoPro HERO7 Black’s Time Warp feature at 15x.

Climb on your bicycles folks! The world is waiting and it’s a lot less boring than jogging. 🙂
Oh, and please be sure to check out our new site, GoPro Monster (https://gopro.monster).
Ride on!
We previously had the Inaugural Chewie Bicycle Cam, but this is the Inaugural Chewie Cam (no “Bicycle”) thanks to a GoPro dog harness we purchased from…of all places…Circuit City (on eBay). Yes, that Circuit City. 🙂
Here is your chance to see life from a dog’s perspective. This is a short neighborhood work in Coyote Ridge:
Chewie is a half Standard Poodle, half Australian Shepherd (Aussi-doodle?) He’s a medium/large dog, coming in around 65 pounds…and full of life and love. 🙂
Although he’s also a brat and barks when he doesn’t get what he wants. Nobody is perfect, right?

Sure…I get up way early to provide everyone with a sunrise video of Strasburg, and…
🙂
Instead, you get to see a fog bank roll in and it thinning and thickening over about an hour (which is still pretty neat):
Using a GoPro HERO7 Black’s Time Lapse Video feature, 1 frame taken per second (so, this took about an hour to film).
Background music is “After Sunrise” by Adigold thanks to Envato Elements.
P.S. This is what the camera looked like after being in the fog for 60ish minutes:
