KONA BIKES COG CAST

Three time 24 Hour Solo World Champion Cory Wallace has been stuck in Nepal since the COVID lockdown. Cory and James discuss what he's been up to, what his plans are, world travel mishaps, his ideal bike, giving back to the bike community, and why he cares so much about getting good sleep.

“I felt my walls closing in until I discovered bicycles. I couldn't walk, I couldn't drive, however, I figured out how I could strap my crutches onto my bicycle and ride… My bike became my emblem of freedom.” Gretchen Leggitt found her passion for cycling after a freak high school accident, and has since ridden across multiple continents. She's also an accomplished artist, with the bragging rights of having done the largest mural in Washington State. We talk bikes, creativity, rock climbing, chasing your passion, and what you learn when you take your significant other on a grueling bike packing journey.
