Note Minnesota license plate. 2,000 participants represented all fifty states.
What? We have to wait in line for coffee at City on the Hill, the local coffee shop?
What? Nowhere to park in town?
Leadville was hopping last weekend due to the Leadville 100, a 100 mile mountain bike race that took riders on and off road. 100 miles at 10,000 feet of elevation!
The fastest time was six hours and they ended the race at 13 hours to complete it.
We stood at the finish line and cheered on the intrepid bikers ranging in age from 16 to 80.
It was heart warming to see children of bikers run beside their parent as he/she crossed the finish line.
Next weekend there will be another Leadville 100.
This one is a running race.
Phew.
