    Gary Fisher, Charlie Kelly, Joe Breeze, and many other pioneers of mountainbiking rode their "Clunkers" over Pearl Pass on their way to Aspen in 1978, during the very first "Crested Butte-to-Aspen Clunker Tour". http://www.sonic.net/~ckelly/Seekay/crested_butte.htm This ride helped launch the sport of mountainbiking, and the annual Crested Butte-to-Aspen ride has continued to this day, often with a few of mountainbiking's founders in attendance.
