The back page art by Kurt Kabica brings back the rides I did in the 80’s the outlaw bike clubs. Groups like, “Shade Tree Racing”, the ABC, BTU and others showed me where to ride. Clandestine rides, hopping fences, ignoring signs and being shot at, were part of the adventure. Kurt was part of the Davis gang, which included greats like Paul Thomasberg, Steve Mara and other. Definitely was a pro/expert group.
Thanks, Charlie for bringing these issues back. I rode with you on the 40th repack reunion. It was my Cooks Bros., that you photographed, that day. I’m so grateful and fortunate to have shared those early days of MTB in NorCal with you and the small tribe we were in those day.
