Repack Rider
Senior Retro Guru
I have friends who do public art with ceramic tile. These artworks use private funds to put art in public places. Their most well known local project is a ten foot obelisk in the town where I live. The surface is covered with hand-made tiles depicting local history and landmarks.
The newest proposal is for a project in Fairfax recognizing the local "Repack" race as the birthplace of modern mountain biking. This will be displayed on a wall that is currently "decorated" as a cinder block barrier around an electrical distribution system.
The first fund raiser will take place on July 10 in a park in Fairfax. My new band ("Mark Twang") will break out of the studio for our first public performance, and in connection with the theme we will be holding in informal Kluncours d'Excellence to show re-created and original klunker bikes of the sort that were used in the original races.
Master of the klunker craft and MTB HoF inductee Alan Bonds and several of his disciples will be there with bikes.
