Tonight we went to the book signing for the new book Camera Corner, with photos by Wende Cragg, a very early participant in the activity that would come to be known as mountain biking, then called klunking, at the Marin Museum of Bicycling. The book was a collaboration with John Watson of The Radavist. So many luminaries were present at the signing, I could not list them all; Charlie Kelly, Joe Breeze, Jacquie Phelan, Don Koski were some of the people present.

If you love beautiful photos of early mountain bike rides, the history of mountain biking and, just a great big slice of bike culture, get this book. It would make a great Christmas present.

#mtb #klunking this was definitely the pioneer days of Mountain Bike racing. No helmets or other protective gear, no suspensions, no disk breaks and just old bikes with big tyres.
