Great Mountain Biking Video 35th Anniversary

Great Mountain Biking Video 35th Anniversary

The Great Mountain Biking Video produced in 1987 is now celebrating its 35th anniversary. So hard to believe that it’s been that many years since we buckled into our toeclips and rode up and down the local San Diego mountains to introduce the world to the sport of Mountain Biking.

What a gorgeous day in October 1993 it was when our small (three-person) video production crew arrived in the lovely town of Gangtok, Sikkim, India. My husband, Mark Schulze, and I had decided to participate in the First-ever Himalayan Run and Mountain Bike Trek, and to document it in our video, “Full Cycle: A World Odyssey.” So our friend, Mark Eveslage (aka “Marco”), decided to join us on this “endless summer on wheels” as Director of Photography.

What’s a mono brow in a green down vest? It’s me, of course! Men are incorrigible teasers. But that’s what I like about them. That’s why for the last three decades, I have ridden mostly with men who love to tear it up on their mountain bikes. And who don’t mind me tagging along. There’s this green down vest which I have been wearing on winter rides in the high desert since I first started mountain biking.

In 1994, when our crew of four climbed aboard a Quantas jet bound for Australia we were to become the pre-eminent mountain-biking tourism pioneers down under. We were literally on a “roll” with our video production called “Full Cycle: A World Odyssey,” the “endless summer on mountain bikes.”
