MBG- Mountain Bike Guide
MBG was this Mountain bike guide/ magazine for World cups- back in the day. They covered rider's info, teams, course maps, events, riders statistics, interviews. I am not sure how many of these guides they made, but back in 98 and 99 when riders were making 6 figure salaries, the sport was big time. You get a real sense of it all. Pick up the magazine and it is a dream world. Top riders have a full page with an action shot, head shot, lifestyle, synopsis of their career, results highlights, number of world cup wins, nationality represented, team, etc. Imagine seeing that now. It would be incredible and probably recruit a lot more people to race. I would pay money to buy one if they still had it, World and World cup coverage is as good as it gets for me.
Cool things to know- like that Anne-Caro won 12 DH world titles in her career, that Peaty's first World Cup win was in Snoqualmie, Wa in 1998.
