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.
More info about the race & the results are at Leadville Trail 100 Bike Race.
More photos at today's LakeshoreImages Page.
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.
Until Tomorrow -
