I just finished riding the first and last 25 miles of the Leadville 100 course, including the St. Kevins climb, Sugarloaf Pass and the Powerline descent and climb.
Sure, it was really hard, but not impossible. And I managed it in a reasonable time with some long stops and without pushing as hard as I could. I think I can do this thing.
Tomorrow is the mighty Columbine climb. I’m really glad I’m previewing the course, this is going to make a big difference on race day.
