My buddy Mark and I share the same birthday, so we got a crew together for a little b-day dirt ride. It was probably the largest crew that we've been able to assemble of old mtbs for a ride in the mud. With the exception of Brian's Hunqapillar, the newest bike was an 1985. Needless to say I was super pumped about the whole ordeal.

Lots of leather saddles in there:

Paceline, because we are very serious riders:

The fog has been condensing and causing "rain" in the woods up on the hill. It's pretty amazing to get to ride mud in the beginning of August.
