Exciting Technological Advancement
|
|
An exciting new feature of the Kinglake ride is the introduction of personalised event videos.These videos feature footage of you riding from cameras at strategic locations around the course. Videosplits
will track your position as you pass the cameras using information from your GPS watch, bike computer, or iPhone application (e.g. Trails).To see for yourself, here's a Videosplits example from a recent 5 lap time-trial event using GPS data from a Garmin.
All you need to do to get your own, personalised Kinglake ride video is to send them your GPS data file (gpx, tcx, csv, kml, etc) of the ride and for $12.50 they will host your video on YouTube for you to watch or share.
