Former UCI World Tour Pro rider Phil Gaimon joins the show to talk about life in the peloton and his upcoming projects in 2017.  After that I sit down with Martin Criminale and discuss his experiences being a bike racer in the Pacific Northwest for almost 30 years and his recent transition into ultra-running.  Finally, I cover some local news including the closure of Public Bikes in Seattle and how the Burke Gilman Missing Link may finally get resolved.
