Hello Iceman Nation! We have this month’s podcast ready for you to enjoy and get inspired for the upcoming Iceman Cometh Challenge! Before we get into the podcast, we would like to introduce our 2024 Iceman Cometh Challenge hosts!
Returning for a second year is Alex Primeau! Alex is a passionate mountain biker and a lover of all things cycling, from hitting the local trails with friends to exploring new routes and pushing his limits on two wheels.
As a volunteer at Norte Youth Cycling Club, Alex loves helping young riders discover the joy and excitement of mountain biking. He’s also a big believer in the power of bikes to heal and bring people together.
Alex has tackled some challenging races in the past, including Marji Gesick 100 and winning Iceman singlespeed. His favorite rides are getting dropped at Out n’ Backs and dawn patrol on the Old Mission Peninsula.
His most memorable ride to date was in the Northern Michigan woods where he proposed to his now wife, while she was still on the bike.
Alex once ate an entire 5-pound bag of Albanese gummy bears in one sitting. He loves exploring with his dog, Koda, singing karaoke, playing pool and Settlers of Catan.
Alex’s love for all things cycling shines through in every episode of the Iceman Cometh podcast. So, whether you’re a seasoned pro or a new to the mountain bike scene, tune in and discover why cycling is more than just a sport – it’s a way of life.
Joining Alex this year is Shannon Kochis. Shannon is a local mom, business owner and a fellow racer in the Traverse City Cycling Community.
Shannon takes advantage of any free time that comes her way and shoots out to the VASA for some fresh air and hero dirt. The Vasa is her favorite place to be, especially with the mix of 2-track and Singletrack options.
“Racing is fun, but enjoying the community around the rides and races is my favorite part of riding bikes”, says Shannon.
We are excited to have Alex and Shannon kick off the season with our first podcast host, Chad Schut! Head on over to the podcast and get out on the trails!
