Last Day to Register for 2013 Leadville 100 Lottery

January 31st, 2013

Powerline Leadville 100

Powerline Climb

Today, January 31st, is the last day to register for the 2013 Leadville 100 lottery for your chance to dig deep going up Powerline and on the rest of the course on August 10th. You have until midnight MST but if you plan on registering and haven’t, I’d suggest you do it as soon as possible just in case you have issues with registering. Head over to this page to register.

As has been the case for the last several years, there’s a $15 charge plus fees just to sign up for the lottery. This fee gets donated to charity though. Also the entry fee if you get picked in the lottery has gone up yet again. It’s now up to $345.

Although the Leadville 100 lottery used to be the only the only way to get into the Leadville 100, now there are the qualifiers to get a slot. There are also various charity slots that can be used to gain a Leadville 100 entry.

Good luck to everybody that is in the lottery! I’ve entered the lottery again in hopes of making my 10th start. Since I had a streak of 3 DNFs, I’ll be going for finish number 7.

Bailey HUNDO: The Senators’ Underground Invitational 100 Mile MTB Race

May 17th, 2010

There’s a new 100 mile mountain bike race in Colorado this year and it’s only a month away. The Bailey HUNDO: The Senators’ Underground Invitational 100 Mile MTB Race will be held on June 19th, 2010. If you missed out on the Leadville 100 or other 100 miles mountain bike races across the country, you still have a chance at getting into the Bailey HUNDO.

Sponsored by four Colorado State Senators, the proceeds of the race will not only enhance the singletrack trail system around Bailey, but also promote mountain biking to at-risk youth, and high schoolers around the state by supporting Trips For Kids Denver/Boulder and the newly-founded Colorado High School Cycling League (CHSCL).

This year is a low key race with a field limit of 150. They’ve said they could see allowing 1,000 racers in the future. This year racers will also be self supported. My guess is that in the future there’ll be aid stations with support but I haven’t gotten a answer from them.

Bailey is a great area to mountain bike and they’re working on building more singletrack. The course will feature over 40 miles of singletrack through the Buffalo Creek Trail System and along the Colorado Trail as well as some challenging climbs on dirt roads and jeep trails. With this race very close to the Colorado Front Range and what should be a great course, I can see this race being very popular if organized well.

There’s no set entry fee for the race. It’s a suggested-donation and pledge-based event. A donation or pledge of $100 gets you a commemorative t-shirt designed by a Platte Canyon junior high school student. A donation or pledge of $250 will additionally qualify you to receive an inaugural Bailey HUNDO jersey.

To have a chance to race this in the inaugural race, you must register by this Wednesday, May 19th. They’re calling it a lottery for picking the 150 riders from those that sign-up but much like the Leadville 100 lottery, I think it’ll be a very weighted lottery. On the race application form, they ask if you live in the districts of any of the 4 Colorado Senators that helped make the race happen. They also want to know how much money you can raise and how you can help promote the race. They also want to know if you have the experience to finish a 100 mile self-supported race.

I’ve seen a couple blog posts about the Bailey HUNDO since it was announced a few weeks ago but haven’t heard of anyone that has applied to do it. Have you or someone you know signed up for it?
