Welcome to the Cyclocross Chats. The best parts of the weekend often happen before and after the races. These are more than after race sound bites, these are the real people outside of the tape.  For the first episode, we chat with Maghalie Rochette and David Gagnon, the duo behind CXFever. They're touring North America, advertising a book, selling merch and doing clinics and activations. This is a great chat, I'm a huge fan of these guys and there's some GOLD on how to get sponsored.
