Just passing this along as I'm not sure if anyone has seen this yet........

Lance to Ride in Leadville 100

Sounds like a pretty grueling ordeal, 100 miles on a MTB in high (10,000'+) alpine terrain.

Appears that was last year(2007) unless I am not reading that right.

That does look like last year, but I've read elsewhere that he was going to compete this year. I guess last year he had to drop out for some reason, IIRC.

Leadville.

On this topic, Lance is most certainly riding this years race. Also, good article in Bicycle magazine about Chris Carmichael and his bid to break 9 hours and earn the coveted belt buckle. This will be his third attempts at trying to break 9 hours (9:18 & 9:05) on his first two attempts. The winner typically comes in around 7 hours. Dave Weins & Floyd Landis were 1-2 last year...I believe. Hopefully, with Lance in the race it will get some TV coverage.

If Lance actually trains for that race he will smoke everyone next year
