Colt McElwaine (Cycling Dirt, Behind the Barriers), returns to Cyclocross Radio after being on episode four in 2015. Colt slots into the "What Your Dad Goes On About When He Goes On About Cyclocross" bucket but, by no means, is he living off of nostalgia. Colt started Blue Hills MTB, a Massachusetts development team that races MTB and cyclocross and, among other pursuits, is focused on giving young women an opportunity to find a community in cycling. He has also used the @BluehillsMTB Instagram account to show that the Cycling Dirt snark lives on in an amazing catalog of cyclocross-themed memes. McElwaine has great insight into how we can nurture and grow cyclocross at the regional level to help it blossom nationally. Follow Colt and the Blue Hills MTB squad at @BluehillsMTB.
