At the RIPM (Riders in Plainfield/Marshfield) trails, Vermont's first ever Vintage Mountainbike Rally and Klunker Jam!
What a day, the rain held off, and it turned into a beautiful evening, with many vintage bike enthusiastic neon clad folks! We had a big group ride on the trails in the Stranahan town forest, including a mix of brand new singletrack, fire roads and atv trails, as well as some dirt roads. There was skidding on the way back, a Klunker skid contest (mostly coaster brake equipped old steel cruiser/MTB frames) and plenty of vintage bike geeking. We had a wide range of vintage mountain bikes, from a 1940 Columbia Cruiser, with Power Modulators (aka, ''brakes''), to Specialized Stumpjumers (the one that formed "a whole new sport"), a Nuke Proof and Fat Chance Yo Eddy, to two Schwinn Paramounts as well as a Bridgestone MB-2 and plenty others!
Check out a ton of pictures here, and more to come. Also, stay tuned for the 2nd annual Velo Vermont Vintage Road Ride, coming up on September 25th 2016!
yours truly, as always,
