Race Across the Sky...Leadville, CO

Cool race to do at least once. I have done it 3 times and would love to do it again on my single speed. Now with Lance embracing it, its insane, at least for the first climb up and over St. Kevin's (20 miles). The last year I raced was when Floyd Landis raced and the race organizers ballooned the field from 450 to 750. That was a crazy start and I was staged in the top 50 or so from the previous year's finishers. Now the field is 1400. So you can imagine the cattle call on climb #1. Still, with the elevations involved its a great challenge, great atmosphere, great town!

November 12 is another showing of the documentary on last years race with Lance winning...
