What the road looks like from a rider's perspective. Filmed on ALC 7, 2008 (but this is pretty much what it looks like every year). It ends with footage of the candlelight vigil. Everything was shot with just a couple of regular cameras.
Songs are (in order): "Miles to Monterey" - West Indian Girls (I think a Paul Oakenfeld mix). * "Move Any Mountain" - The Shamen. * "Fly With Me" - Susan Bush (a former Rider herself; it's about one of her own experiences while on a Ride). - Bill, Rider 1744.

Great video Bill. I don't know why I took so many pictures but didn't think of taking any video on the ride. Doh! :-) I'll share your video with my friends though. -Phil Rider #1100

Thanks for that. I had never heard "Fly with Me" tho i had heard of it. I can totally see why when she performed it, she had the entire place in tears.
