The premise: talk about mountain biking and being an Enthusiast in Chief. WOW, a radio interview! How cool. I was a bit nervous, but that a subsided when they started asking my questions. My portion of the interview was about 15 mintues into the show. Then, they began their spirited questions. It was a blast!
