Bike Ride- Quarryville, Pennsylvania- Enola low grade trail

[Starise]

This video is a combination of two much longer rides I took last week on different days.

I wanted to give the experience of riding along with me. It's getting dark here before 5pm. Yesterday sunset was 4:48pm. So to set out at 2pm is sometimes pushing it to get back before dark. No worries. I have headlights :)

WOW it looks scary riding in the dark with just a bike light !I cant imagine how much fitter you must be with all these bike rides Nice to see you found a companion on your ride  but why is there a train in the middle of nowhere ????/

I didn’t plan to be riding in the dark for long, but so much for plans sometimes:)

I really want to be super fit. One younger guy at church has talked with me about riding. He has a high end mountain bike and is at least 30 years younger than me. We’ll see.JC is the nick name of my friend I rode with. He is very knowledgeable about local and even distant trails. He pretty much knows about and has ridden them all.

There was a railway where that trail is and some of the railroad relics have been preserved, like that rail car.  Just below this trail closer to the river there is a functioning set of rail tracks.

Hope you are well.

Tim, nice scenery as always.   I'm glad you are enjoying yourself.

When I tried to watch it on YouTube, there was only a black screen.    @ladypeartree  Can you try to watch it on YouTube and see if it's only a black screen for you?

I always give Tim a thumbs up on YouTube since that will help YouTube to promote his videos more.

Thanks for checking it out for me.   I just tried watching it on YouTube and it isn't a black screen now.    Maybe @Starise did something or maybe it was a glitch earlier for me.

If you watch on YouTube, it helps Starise to get more views so YouTube will promote his videos.

Happy New Year to all of you.

Yep I think YouTube seen from the message board counts as one IP address or one viewer looking multiple times. My numbers are all over the place.
Not that numbers mean a lot other than they boost my vids to other viewers. A lot of people need to see it in order for more people to see it? Kinda odd. 
I plan a few more vids on more serious Christian subject matter on my other channel. 
And since I can have multiple accounts I may start a music channel for musicians. I would put my work up in addition to others, but a new channel isn’t likely to generate much coverage, at least for awhile. I had a podcast called “Recording Hound” where I cut my teeth on some of that. I interviewed some big names and artists in the biz. That was not YouTube driven. Here’s my old logo. I still have a Facebook account for it.

Tim, one thing to keep in mind is how many subscribers you have.   If you have too many channels, it might dilute your number of subscribers.   But maybe you don't care about that?

Most people want alot of subscribers so YouTube will place ads on your channel and it generates some income.

Good point. Channels can be divided within one channel into sections. My thinking was that each channel would be dedicated to each subject. One channel, "The Beacon", I dedicated to theological and deep thought issues that hopefully people like to discuss, and some silly stuff too that ties into it. For instance I planned to put up a video up for post new year thoughts.

My other channel could be considered a channel for the things some people like to do, like biking, camping and motorcycle riding, hiking among other things. There is already some cross pollination though.

Then I planned a music space, The thing I learned from my podcast  was that it's mostly secular musicians who might have an interest in it if I offer to post their music of all types, which from a Christian standpoint could be a conflict of interest, and if I have an interest that is interested in me putting up their music who is told no when I put up other secular music, it won't bode well. I could just make it my personal music channel, I already have a music channel I never bothered to squeeze to it's full potential, A plan for 2025. It needs some serious house cleaning and connecting to other social media. I need to establish a tiktok, a reddit. and others. I sometimes post to facebook, but FB isn't really a niche place. . Putting video to my music would give it another dimension, if I can do it well. I always made music but never thought about selling any of it. I made an acoustic guitar album awhile back and got some money from it which surprised me. At that point I had never monetized YouTube for anything. YouTube generally amounts to pennies and most successful YouTubers are hawking something for someone.

And of course, if I monetize anything it should not be here. I only wanted to post to local friends here with no intention to piggy back this site, so I might be doing things you won't necessarily see here.
