After Kamille’s soccer class we headed out to attend a friend’s birthday party at a nearby pizza and video game arcade. I shot some footage with the G9 and quickly assembled it on iMovie 08. The soundtrack was a precomposed piece from Adobe Soundbooth. I imported the video to Premiere and tweaked the colors and added some gradient maps. Maybe one of these days I will have the time to produce my own backing track from scratch on Ableton Live and the Motif XS7.

Overall, it was a fun filled weekend. Yesterday, we walked around Lake Elizabeth in Fremont:

We rode Sawyer Camp Recreational Trail today (soon to be named Crystal Springs Trail) in San Bruno. We didn’t realize that the exit to take on Sundays was Black Mountain Road but we eventually found the northern trailhead on Hillcrest so our route started off downhill.

It was a nice day for a ride, relatively warm and most of it was easy going with the exception of the last mile on the way back with about less than 500 feet of elevation gain. I was pulling the bike trailer and we had to walk a few sections of the last mile.

By backyard, I don’t mean that literally but The Alameda Creek Trail, a 12 mile stretch of paved path that’s part of the East Bay Park system is just a mile from our doorstep. It’s also connected to Coyote Hills Regional Park and adjacent to Don Edwards S.F. Bay National Wildlife Refuge. I brought our camera today to take some photos along my usual 14 mile biking route.

There are 65 parks in the East Bay Regional Park system covering 98,000 acres and 1,150 miles of trails.
