"In the late 80s, early 90s, racing was how the tribe gathered; the racing was the community," says long-time Gunnison resident, David Wiens.
"Armed with topo maps and aiming to log training miles--a revolutionary concept in a sport invented by hippies--Wiens took to the back roads that ringed Gunnison."
"At its peak, the Rage in the Sage race attracted nearly a thousand competitors, showcasing Gunnison's emerging reputation in mountain biking."
"Gunnison developed a podium pedigree; when mountain biking made its Olympic debut at the 1996 Summer Games, Wien's wife, Susan DeMattei medaled."
