Dave Brink attempted to burn Parsons off on the climb. As usual for Nevada City, it was hot that day. I can't remember what happened....but hopefully somebody who sees the photo will fill me in. Parsons won, but I forget the details. Dave Brink is carrying a spare tire and a pump, something you wouldn't see in modern times. You can just barely see the Berkeley bike license plate attached to his seat stays. It's hard to imagine descending the Nevada City hill with Mafac Racer brakes....but I used to depend on them myself.
