Mountain Biking: The Birth of Dirt

Postby HitRed on Wed Sep 04, 2024 12:53 pm

I picked up this book about the origins of mountain biking. California and other western states get a lot of credit. For those interested in Dirt.

Also dedicated to NW Dirt. However, the cool kind....since 1975 baby.

Tragically, my super cool uncle died horribly on his mountain bike. OP doesn't do it for me :(

My neighbor did the Hut2Hut challenge in Utah. He did finish but all the others in the group dropped out. Said he would never go back it was so hard.
