Frame Building Month is here! We couldn't think of a better way to kick things off than to spend a few minutes with Mark Norstad, founder of Paragon Machine Works. Paragon Machine Works has been on the leading edge of bicycle part manufacturing for over 30 years! Mark is a great guy and we could have talked with him for hours about his involvement in the evolution of mountain biking and about manufacturing functional and attractive bike parts.

Ever wonder how the trails at your local fat biking network get groomed? In this episode we catch up with trail grooming magician CJ Scott from the Kingdom Trails to talk a little bit about what goes on behind the scenes to get the trails in riding shape.

Jake called in to answer all of our questions about Randonneuring and to tell some amazing stories of his brevets. I absolutely loved this discussion and encourage everyone to try out a brevet sometime.

Some people just have grit and determination in their blood. Anyone that bicycle commutes everyday through the winter also has a little bit of something else (crazy perhaps?). Kris Hunt is a year-round bicycle commuter that stopped by recently to discuss the trials of adapting to winter bike commuting. We tip our helmet visor to Kris, and are proud to share his story as the first in our Local Bike Hero series.
