Pat Sorensen, the President of Penn Cycle of Minnesota, joins Ben to discuss what Penn has going on, the current state of fatbikes and gravel, and more.
The plan for the show was to discuss fatbiking and the two "Get Phat with Pat" races at the Minnesota River Bottoms outside of Minneapolis. It turned into more because Pat is a wealth of cycling history knowledge and has a clear passion for all types of cycling.
They discussed fatbikes, gravel racing, and the history of the store.
It's a really interesting story about how Penn Cycle started. Enjoy!
