Dan Chabanov joins Taylor and Bill for a conversation that touches on racing MTB in the U.S., the World Cup MTB scene, fixed-gear crit racing, geared crit racing and, of course, cyclocross. This was a really fun conversation that I know you're going to enjoy.

Note on audio: a handful of times throughout the episode Taylor's levels peak. I screwed this up and couldn't completely fix it in post.  Need to rework some hardware in the basement and will have this all sorted by the next time we're down here recording.
