The Circling Podcast:
A Central Oregon focused podcast designed to redefine what it means to be a community. How to invest in each other and the place that we live.  Let’s encourage each other in the basics, like kindness, respect, gratitude, patience.  Let’s learn about individuals, local businesses, and nonprofits that invest in our community. Let’s remember how much we have in common and start respecting our differences. Let’s lead the next generation of Central Oregonians, young and old, by example. In the process, let's help shape the growth of our region, ensure opportunity for more and maintain what we all love about Central Oregon, The Beauty. The Adventure. The Way of Life. 

Guests on today’s show: 

Molly Cogswell-Kelly
Molly, who moved to Bend in 1997, is currently in a leadership role at Mt Bachelor Sports Education Foundation as the events director. Molly has been instrumental in the success of MBSEF sponsored Central Oregon events such as, the Pole Pedal Paddle, Cascasde Cycling classic and the popular weeknight cyclecross series, Thrilla.  She is also responsible for helping create the Can Chaser event. A new cycle-cross event being held at the Redmond Fairgrounds on 9/11/21.

 Brad Ross:
Originally from Anchorage AK. Brad moved to Bend in 2001 to take the job as race director of the Cascade Cycling Classic. He’s worked in the cycling industry for 25 years and is one of a few who helped shape the culture at the nationally recognized Cross Crusade Cycle Cross Series in Portland Oregon. He worked closely with Molly in the development and creation of the Can Chaser cycle-cross course debuting this September. 

Chris Horner:
If you follow professional road cycling, then Chris needs no introduction. If not, well his professional cycling career spans over 25 years with dozens of career highlights.  He’s not only the only American to win the Tour of Spain, which he did in 2013, but he’s also the oldest professional cyclist to win a European Grand Tour Stage Race. These days, Chris can be found commentating on NBC during Professional cycling events and on youtube, where he is the host of his popular new show, “The Butterfly Effect.”

If you see a mid 80’s Ferrari 308 GTS around central Oregon, its not Magnum P.I., odds are its Brad, give him a wave, he’s a hell of a nice guy.   Please support Molly and Brad at the first annual Can Chaser Cycle Cross event on Sept 11th at the Deschutes County Fair and Expo Center.  If you go, make sure to bring as many bells, whistles and other creative noise making devices as possible. Even better, if you can, contact Molly at MBSEF.ORG and see how you can volunteer at this event.  Like our community, a fun, healthy cycle cross culture in Central Oregon relies on us.
