I ordered a bunch of photos from Killboy from the week and will post them here as soon as I download them. If others have them as well, please post them here.
Here are a bunch of pics from the Gap, including shots of the whole group - including myself Yermobuffalobruce and jpcfjr - (some nice formation pics), myself, and jpcfjr.
Next year I think I'll try a 4-camera mount on the bike for the night ride, and one day ride. I can then use video editing software to put all four into a singled video frame in quadrants and time sync them.

It dawns on me that the Garmin's include custom extension data in the tracks that include date/time stamps of each point. So it should be pretty straight forward to write some code to move a marker along the track in "real time". Then the only challenge is to sync up the starting point of the video with the starting point of the track. As long as they are both "real-time" it should be pretty close and I think would make for a very compelling visual representation.
As long as the clocks are even fairly accurate it will be easy to sync them. The clock time of course doesn't matter at all. Once the start points are set they will all run in the same timeline. then it will be down to the accuracy and update interval of the GPS against the speed of the camera. Should be fine.
Indeed. Looking at the data the Garmin exports a little more closely the problem is that it only marks points about every 10 seconds. I'll have to see if there is a setting.
Failing that, I could write a little app for an android phone with a gps to dump points quicker so we can get better granularity.
I think if we could get this to work and come up with a process of syncing the videos that normal end-users could use, it would make for one hell of a compelling feature on the site.
