Saturday, August 11 - Leadville Trail 100 MTB Bike Race, CO - 24.5 Miles Today, 12,568.2 For the Trip

You will be seeing a somewhat different page between yesterday & today - I managed to overwrite day 101 with day 102. Normally, I would have had a backup that I could have used to fix things, but unfortunately, when traveling in the trailer I only hook up my backup disk drive every couple of days. So, here is the race page again, but starting from scratch:

The Leadville Trail 100 MTB bike race takes place today. It is a 100 mile trail bike race that also includes sections that are more like a road bike race. Overall it includes riding on dirt & paved roads, power & pipe lines, and a climb to the top of Mount Columbine, 2500' higher than the start of the race. In between, there are a number of climbs & drops. Lance Armstrong didn't ride this year, but has done the race in the past. He stated it is the most difficult race he has ever ridden.

By the way, many of the riders will be taking part next weekend in a 100 mile run, also here in Leadville!

I left to head back to the campground around 7:00 & drove through part of the tail end of the race - they were still coming in.
