Tom Ritchey was such a key figure in the start of mountain biking and a remarkable athlete. I didn't realize ( until I looked it up) that he is the same age as me. To have been building frames so early and so well is a true gift. I still remember the '89 Worlds that Don Myrah won. I had just finished racing in the amateur race on the same course earlier in the day and was there to suck it all in. Although at 10,000 ft you don't suck much air. Those were the good old days, rigid steel bikes and none of the panzy suspension stuff.
the video is very well done too. ~mike Carlsbad Ca.
