Home base to so many riders. Keep up with the happenings on the Spruit.

Training

Leadville Lottery Entry Going In
November 1, 2011 – 9:11 pm | No Comment

We (Mike and Rob) are being courted by James to do the Leadville 100 MTB Race in Colorado next August.  They say it is the toughest race in North America…. could it be tougher than day 4 of the J2c?  Only time and luck will tell.  Luck because entries are on a lottery basis and time because we will only know in many months time.  Check it out and see what you think http://www.leadvilleraceseries.com/

This race is also called ‘touch the sky’ because of the beeeg altitide.
