What a shame there's an entry fee
Re:
Pretty sure it's not a charity so an entry fee is fine.

And to be fair, nowt wrong with a charity charging an entry fee, I just thought it would have been even better if there had been sponsorship/a business plan to make it work without a entry fee
Obvs everyone here would pay the ten bucks, but less committed passers by, maybe not
Anyways, sure its fantastic and will try to get out there soon

Re:
ok, so first i'd like to thank Charlie and Pat for showing us the trails, that was great in itself, riding with new bike friends from across the other side of the planet is cool.
what is also cool is sitting in a bar after that ride and talking about bikes and history, i could have sat and listened to you guys for hours!
also Ben my travelling buddy (only 26 years old) was really surprised to beable to trace the history of his 2013 Stumpjumper back to the prototypes made by Tom Ritchey for Gary Fisher and Charlie Kelly for Mike Sinyard to later become Specialized bikes, that's something he was unaware of as being a younger chap to him mountain bikes have always been around, to realise that the guys he was riding with were there at the beginning of mountain bikes and laid the foundation for what they would become was an eye opener for him, especially when we were lucky enough to be let into the museum 2 weeks before the opening (for free!) and given a little tour which was awesome
anyway, here are some pics, in no particular order!
