Can't wait to get my book and read it. Rebecca is so inspiring. Chad, have a great time at Leadville. It is very intimidating and a bit overwhelming coming into town and seeing so many fit bikers all together. I remember feeling like I didn't belong there but I did manage to finish the race. It is such an experience to be there and be a part of the race. Have fun and don't suffer too much! Just donated. Can’t wait to get my book and read it. Rebecca is so inspiring.

Being stuck here on the East Coast as I am for the time being, I will not be able to attend the Leadville reading and Q&A in person, but I would love to have a set of those cool pint glasses. So, here's a question for you: how much of a donation to The Hammer's WBR fund would be enough to have Rebecca's book and a set of 4 of the very cool pint glasses shipped out to me? Would a couple of bikes be sufficient? Totally awesome!

The altitude would kill me - i can't hardly walk uphill above 10k ft, much less turn cranks. I can’t imagine doing one leadville, much less 10.

I'm not sure who to be jealous of - Rebecca or the Hammer! :) What I wouldn't give to ride with either one or both - wow! I can't be jealous though because I can't think of a more deserving person than The Hammer. She is just all kinds of awesome. :) When I saw the book (Rebecca and Selene tweeted about it), I knew I wanted a copy. Now the chance to get a signed copy and support The Hammer - I'm in. I get paid tomorrow. Woo hoo and thank you and thank Rebecca! On a side note, Selene Yeager aka FitChick was just up in Anchorage for the most bizarre world championships I've ever heard of - the Single Speed World Championships. As far as I can tell it involves a lot of drinking, costumes, more drinking, stacking bikes into a huge pile, drinking and saying the "F" word a lot. I think they did do some riding. Not sure how she did or if she was able to find the course. :) That is just SO incredibly cool.

I'm ill prepped, and just going for the experience. Whatever result, finish or not, I'll enjoy it. I'll be the fatty from Texas. One question, and excuse me if I missed it, when will I be able to get a kit? I've never been able to catch them in time. Maybe I'll see you in Leadville, I'll be the one that doesn't look like he belongs, lost, and a tad panicked. <em>Send me an email, Chad, and I'll send you my phone # so we can meet up in LT100. - FC</em> I’ll be heading to Leadville next week to take a shot at it for the first time.
