When two guys spend five weeks living together in a house in a small mountain town, it’s only natural that they be interviewed together… and so it is that I joined Dakota Jones and Matt Hart (both of Montrail) for an informal chat at their house prior to the 2011 Hardrock 100. Hear about their training, what they’re looking forward to at Hardrock, and their mountain town life in Silverton.

It’s worth noting that there’s plenty of color in this very casual interview. I mean, where else can you hear Dakota talk about booty shorts and tan lines.
