mountains, bikes, buddies

As I mentioned last week, Portland hosted our old buddy Planet Hayden for a few days over the weekend. In between the bbqs, beer drinkin while tellin stories and hikes, we got in some pretty sweet mountain biking up at Brown's Camp. It was pretty cold Saturday, and rained on and off the whole time we were riding, but the ride was still fun. Not sure if you've ridden Brown's Camp, but it is a good mix of everything that I think mountain biking should be: remote, rooty, rocky, twisting single-track. We had a good crew of six, including one of Portland's newest transplants, Nick, who just moved from the Land of Pleasant Living (aka Maryland) last week. Here is a pretty good picture of our gang at University Falls.
