• Realise Scott's post about Cindy should be on here;

    Cindy Whitehead...One of mountain bikings original heroes.
    She will forever be a legend to me after breaking her seatpost less than ten miles into a 60 mile mountain bike race (in proper mountain terrain, not groomed trails) and instead of quitting she rode the remaining 50+ miles standing up and went on to beat the reigning champion for the win.
    She continued to be a force to be reckoned with for many years.

    Shown here with the remaining seatpost still sticking out of her frame...

    If you're interested in the early days of mountain biking then check out the rest of Charlie Kelly's website from the Cindy Whitehead link above...Kelly was one of the true Godfathers of Mountain biking...it's a shame he doesn't get the recognition that Gary Fisher does.
