Tobin Ortenblad joins Amanda and Bill for a raucous episode of The Midfield Report, our bonus content focusing on riders of note in the middle of the gravel pack. This episode was recorded a week after Tobin finished 18th at Unbound. Ortenblad made his name as a top cyclocross racer in the US before joining the Santa Cruz Hit Squad and tackling the biggest gravel and MTB races in the country. This is a good one, y'all.
