Mountain Bike Roots - the early days of mountain biking

Crested Butte, Colorado

The pictures on this page are mostly of the criterion held during Fat Tire Bike Week, before the Pearl Pass Tour. Pictures from the Tour itself are on a different page. A few pictures are from casual rides and from the trials competition.

As with the rest of this website, I am adding pictures whenever I have time. Check back from time to time to see what I've added.
