A Film by Billy Savage Long before the mountain bike entered our global consciousness, the cycling enthusiasts of Northern California’s Marin County rode modified pre-WWII bicycles down the slopes of Mount Tamalpais . They developed their bikes through rigorous field-testing, often risking life and limb to do so. Some of these cyclists were Category-1 road racers looking for a new way to train during the off-season. Others were simply fun-loving hippies looking for a new way to commune with nature. Their early bikes were scavenged from dumpsters and junkyards. It was from these humble beginnings that a multi-billion dollar industry, a form of recreation for the masses, and an Olympic event, were born. These hefty steeds were affectionately known as Klunkerz. (83min.) Written by William Savage. www.klunkerz.com Distributed by www.vasentertainment.com

Recent warm daytime temperatures and above freezing overnight temperatures are signaling the start of “Mud Season”. This is the time of year when we need to take care not to travel on muddy trails and roads. What may have been a frozen, snowy route a couple of days ago may have turned into a slushy, muddy path that should be avoided.
