40th Anniversary of the Birth of Mountain Biking

[Repack Rider]

On October 21, 1976, I met five friends at the top of a steep dirt road. We had clocks, and the object was to settle for all time who was the world and universe champion of fat-tire downhill.

It didn't settle anything. It started something.

Here is the Dirt Rag article on the recent 40th anniversary celebration.

Happy birthday. The article is enjoyable. I particularly like how the commerative ride was started.
