I love the conglomeration of Leadville stories. It would be great to have this type of things for all of the rides- Crushar, Rockwell, etc. I like reading them back to back and this makes it really easy.

Yes, yes, yes to podcast!!!

I actually and really-really (my personal trainer can verify this) read and re-read your race reports when I’m (gods forbid) on the treadmill at the gym or stuck on rollers.

My favorites are IronFatty, Salt-to-Saint, and any of the Rockwell Relays because they’re good and long, and can get me through a longer treadmill session.

With all the Leadvilles in one place, this page is getting favorited on my iPad for my run today. :)

I have to say that after watching “Race Across the Sky”, I too got intrigued about Leadville and found your blog while researching the race. I did the race twice (had to come back a second time so I could actually finish the darn thing. I would love to go back again. Reading your posts about the race made me wish I had entered the lottery again. Oh well, maybe another year. This summer it’s going to be the SmokeNFire race in Idaho in September. http://smokenfire420.wordpress.com Looks like a fun ride/race.
And I agree, the back of the pack in Leadville is a great place to race. Everybody helps inspire and motivate and congratulate each other.

Love you Fatty but when are we going to get to hear the Hammer’s goals for 2015 including Leadville?? My boyfriend qualified for Leadville through the Barn Burner race here in AZ and got the coveted golden coin into Leadvillle! It is his first and he is racing singlespeed. I will be his support crew. He is loving every one of your stories. This is his year, but I may try to qualify for 2016!

I hadn’t realized just how many times you’ve raced Leadville. It would be interesting to read your thoughts on how the race/sport has changed over the years.

I applied for the first time this year, after being inspired by the stories on this blog, but no joy. I really enjoy reading the stories – please keep them coming, and I’d love to hear them on the podcast!
