Get to the front of the race so no "slow" riders will impede your precious way. <em>Jimmy, you're missing some context here.

I had planned on doing a sub-8 Leadville now that I have gotten my 5'8" frame under 184 lbs, and I was just grumpy that I was looking at an 8:30 finish. Bleck. Anyway, stay further to the right next time and you won't irritate me as much during the descent.

Bwa-ha-ha! Somehow I am always easily amused when someone compares the greenie-earth-muffin understanding of organic with the chemistry meaning of the word.

What a jerk. I hate people like that. The ones who take themselves to seriously. The pro MTBer that I follow, Sonya Looney, did the same thing you did - cheered the folks going up the hill. I think they should ban people like that guy from racing. There is no excuse for being a rude jerk during a race like that. None. I will probably never do Leadville, being a sealevel dweller and all. I would die from lack of oxygen. Loving the blog posts on Leadville and I can't wait for the ones for the Breck! :) I’m so happy that ass didn’t ruin your day. What a jerk. I hate people like that.

Wow, that was a long sentence. As a stay at home dad, who doesn’t get to move the cranks as much as I should, I agree that I enjoy your ride reports as a bit of vicarious awesomeness.

I can see how it can be an addictive race - we'll see about next year. The downhills wore me out mentally which I wasn't expecting. We have nothing like that around here. A great ride with great people. Fatty – I am a mere mortal from the flat lands (IN) – 11:05. I can see how it can be an addictive race – we’ll see about next year.

I can wait for next year to do it all over again.

I overheard a couple of guys saying SS riders might as well do the run instead..not sure what they meant but I made sure to leave them in my dust while they sat and spun more stories. <em>How'd you end up doing, Owen?
