Jeremy Williams and I met...... shit I don't really remember when. But we’ve been riding bikes and drinking beer for that long. He's a life long RAGBRAI participant, and has helped organize weekly rides here in Rochester. He is the first official interview actually in the salon chair! And, as it is with most RAGBRAI story tellers, I had to fake a power outage to get him to stop! Enjoy!

For this Podcast of Chewey's Salon Chair we only thought it fitting that the first interview be with Eric Sovern (Sov to most of the world) AND not have him in the chair. Instead, we are in Decorah IA at the Cabin Not On A Lake at the picnic table. Sov has retired from the bike industry and now has his own Craft/Hobby store in downtown Decorah, Cardboard Robot. He still has an opinion about bikes and many great stories from past cycling adventures. I'm sure this is only the first of many times w...
