JOE BREEZE Born in the bicycling hotbed of Marin County, Joe Breeze was one of the
original participants at mountain biking’s seminal race, the Repack. The first ever mountain bike he built in 1977, the Breezer #1, is now in the Smithsonian Institute. He continues to build bikes under the Breezer brand and has won numerous Editor’s Choice Awards. He is on the Board of Directors of the Marin Museum of Bicycling and Mountain Bike Hall of Fame.
OTIS GUY, a lifelong Marin County resident, was one of the original participants in the
Repack, including one win. He began building his own line of bikes, Otis Guy Cycles, shortly thereafter. He runs a summer mountain bike camp for kids and is the coach of the Sir Francis Drake High School mountain biking team. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the Marin Museum of Bicycling and Mountain Bike Hall of fame.
TOM RITCHEY began building bicycle frames when he was still in high school in Palo
Alto over forty years ago. His contribution to the development of the mountain bike is wellchronicled, as is his sponsorship of one of mountain biking’s first super teams. These days, Ritchey Designs produces a cutting-edge line of bicycle components including seat posts, stems, handlebars, pedals, and wheels which adorn bicycles on six of the seven continents.
