Part 1 of our 2 or 3 part series with Kenny Labbe. 

Discussion all around - from road and current state of criteriums to cyclocross. Old school racing to announcing. Plenty of name dropping and reminiscing. 

We invited pro cycling photographer Ethan Glading in to the shop to discuss what he sees on the national level for road and cross. We discuss the impact of teams and events, which is more important, as well as the idea of schedules. 

We go over a brief recap of some of the highlights of the Tour of America's Dairyland Race series that just concluded. We also talk a bit about upcoming races Winfield Criterium - a National Championship ABR event and The Intelligentsia Cup
