Hundreds of Mountain Bikers Want What I Got Today

2007 Leadville 100 MTB Start

The beginning of February each year is when hundreds of mountain bikers what impatiently for a little piece of paper to come in the mail. That piece of paper means they have a lot of training to do in the next 6 months.

That little piece of paper means they made the Leadville 100 mountain bike lottery. I really didn’t expect my card for another couple days. A few others on the Colorado Front Range reported on the Yahoo Leadville 100 MTB group that they had also gotten their cards.

I’m still working on the Leadville 100 MTB FAQ. I’m working on how to train. The problem that I’m having is that I doubt people that are looking for training information will know what LT and VO2 Max intervals are without some explanation. I’m just trying to make it understandable to people that haven’t been racing for 15+ years.

Update: I guess the days of the cards slowly spreading acroos the country to notify lucky particpants is over. The preliminary Leadville 100 MTB entrant list was posted this evening.
