No. I’m riding SBT GRVL which is the same weekend. I’d like to ride Leadville again in the future - maybe when my kids turn 18 if they’ll ride it with me 🙂.

I might ride the Silver Rush again - if we’re not on a camping trip in the Tetons that weekend.

- VO2max
- Sweet Spot
- Endurance

I’ll do these types of ride indoors or outdoors, depending on weather and time constraints.
