Repack Rider
Senior Retro Guru
In 1974 a half dozen or so of us took our one-speed coaster brake bikes on a challenging, hilly loop on the Thanksgiving holiday which normally features a lot of food. It was one of those things we only planned to do once.
The "Appetite Seminar" as it came to be called, took on a life of its own. At first I promoted it, but 20 years or so ago there was no longer any need for promotion, as hundreds of riders started showing up from all corners of the Bay Area and I didn't want to feel responsible for them.
There can't be any older annual MTB events or any that involve more riders. The ride is tomorrow, but rain will cut the number of riders and it looks threatening.
If it isn't pouring, I'll get you some photos.
