Steve Brunner is the man behind the Maryland Cycling Classic. Brunner grew up in Kenosha, Wisconsin. This midwest guy has worked with some of the biggest bike races in the world. He's worked with the Tour de Georgia, Olympics, Amgen Tour of California to the Tour of China just to name a few.

Brunner started King of the Mountain Sports based out of Colorado in 2006. He's got over 30 years experience putting on world class events.

The Maryland Cycling Classic is his new project. The road race is one day, 120 miles long, with World Tour and Pro Tour teams participating. The first race was won by Sep Vanmarcke in 2022.

In this episode Brunner and I talk about getting the race off the ground, why Baltimore, and will the race ever be more than a one day event.
