May 15th marked the 1st Annual Decorah Time Trials Reunio and in the aftermath Chewey, Sven, Captain and Zeigle sat down in Captain’s palatial kitchen to whip up this here podcast for your ear listening pleasure.

After querying several of the original racers who showed up for the reunion we pegged the first Decorah Time Trials Mountain Bike Event aways back in 1990.

True to its roots, the 2021 edition was run in Twin Springs park where the approximately 1.1 mile course is pretty much up the side of the bluff and back down. At 200 to 250 vertical feet this is a steep course!
