Can’t believe it. Got lucky and won a lottery entry!! Who else is in?

@Jonathan …Don’t let Nate dog you on your tire choice…Tread lites are the perfect tire these are awesome for Leadville just run the EXO front and back the 100grms will not help …Ran these two years ago and they are fast, efficient. Careful descending single track and the three hairpins on Columbine a…

Agreed, I think EXO front and rear is the way to go. The treadlites will be fine with Jonathan’s skills.

What does city partners mean? Does LEadville not want the race or some other reason…I can not think of any difference to the organizers process…Any thoughts?

I can’t think of a good reason for why the city would object to wave starts. I’m in the purple corral, so I don’t think wave starts, or lack thereof, will meaningfully impact me. But from a curiosity perspective, I would have liked to see the effect the wave starts would have had compared to 2 year…

Saw Lachlan Morton from Team EF riding down Columbine today just as I was getting set to ride up. There was a little drizzle, but otherwise conditions great.

race week, here we come. for those that are not fortunate enough to have crew: how much time do you give up w/o a crew? is navigating drop bag stations obvious? any tips to save time? is it better to have a hydration pack so skip aid stations? comfort/aero for bottles vs. stoppage time at aid s…

Tend to agree, @DaveWh –I am also in Purple (from previous posts it sounds like we both had sketchy qualifiers). The plan is to try and move up towards the front of green in the early stages … I dont love burning matches that early, but it will probably make sense to get with similar riders. And espe…

[image] apwUS: And especially if Green is considered “sub-9” and Purple “sub-10”. The corral placements from qualifiers are overly generous. I was in green 2 years ago, which in theory is sub 9, but I am not a sub 9 rider. Purple vs green I don’t think will have a big influence on your overa…

I have a quick question I’ll be doing my first Leadville MTB 100 in 8 days. Is it legal to have music in one ear during the race ? since it is a Lifetime fitness event of the rules. I am only thinking of the columbine climb an how listening to the band Tool will help me :sunglasses:
