Tobin Ortenblad made a stop in DC for a few days between the opening weekend of racing in Roanoke, Virginia, and this weekend's races in Rochester, New York. With him in town, it would be wrong not to finally sit down for a chat. We talked about how he got into racing bikes, the hustle of running your own cycling program, and his plan for the year.
