Bend Magazine’s The Circling Podcast with Adam Short

When life long cyclist Don Leet and I sat down to discuss some of Bend’s biking lore, Don shared stories and insights that make up much of the history of cycling in our region.
From the birth of mountain biking in Central Oregon to the emergence of gravel cycling and e-bikes, our conversation is a testament to the ever-evolving nature of the sport.

Throughout our discussion, the art and science of trail building take center stage, with a nod to the sweat and precision that have gone into sculpting Central Oregon’s legendary single track network. The importance of volunteerism comes into sharp focus, particularly through the lens of organizations like COTA, which have been pivotal in teaching others the skills required to steward the trails that so many have come to love, fostering a sense of belonging and stewardship for the next generation of riders who will call these trails home.
