The annual Homey Fall Fest once again took place this past Saturday. Mountain bikes were ridden and crashed, feelings were hurt, beer was drank, fire was made, and it was all very good. Here is some photographic evidence of what went down.

Great pictures. What kind of chain tensioner is that on the Hollywood bike?
I'm so stoked that the name "Trevisty" stuck.
Cannondale used an EBB made for some good creaking as you hammered along
