It’s true. During the 1984 Carlsbad Grand Prix, a group of bicycle riders raced 2 laps around the Grand Prix course as a half time exhibition (Doug “The Wheelie King” Dumokus must have been unavaliable.)
We were promoting a new sport – and a new type of off-road bicycle – called Mountain Biking.
Yours truly (top center) is wearing the white tank top, black helmet and red/black LYCRA shorts!
Can’t remember where I finished, who won, or any of the heckles from the beer-drunking, sun-baked motocross crowd.
Side note: Jammin’ Jimmy Weinert announced the race!
Those were the days.
