Yep. In charlotte, nc

Is there a special version where Armstrong is not mentioned? If so then it might be interesting to see what a circus the race has become during the last couple of years. If not then the gag reflex would be too strong to risk viewing it.

He doesn't.

By "circus" you, of course, mean people have finally gotten the word about the toughest 1 day mountain bike race on the planet that attracts the best riders like Lance, Levi, Todd Wells, JHK, Ned Overend, Tinker, Jeremiah Bishop and a few others.

I'm sure that's what you really meant to say without the usual sarcasm.

..people have finally gotten the word about the toughest 1 day mountain bike race on the planet...

This would be sad if it were not so stupid. Toughest one day MTB race on the planet!! LOLs. Cluelessness on an epic scale.

bashing lance here on the internet makes one feel closer to the pro peloton....errr on the internet no less

brodeal has talent when he is talking about process. But alas his topics as of late are of the person. himself and others. see what fame does

Where's the beef

terms suggetsting any event is the hardest ever are best ignored..

Leadville is not technical. That's why the roadies do so well.

'epic' just depends on the rider.

Do they still do the markleeville ride? I know three peaks qualifies as epic. No pro roadie woul dare ride it

 

[Boeing]

Are there any equivalent rides in Europe or elsewhere not so heavily marketed to sell bikes?
Through the Alps perhaps? I don't know.

I am not going to see this because I think it is the toughest or best or whatever or because I have ridden harder blah blah blah.... Just going to see some riding and celebrate the sport.

I can agree that the hype for this race is a bit over the top. But that is what the Bike Industry is here in the US. no reason to hate though

All I now is i'd be hard pressed to finish at that altitude


Cheers

Actually I think what you meant to say was "toughest 100 mile fireroad race in central Colorado that attracts the best riders in the area who are not away racing somewhere else that weekend, to hammer on a bunch of wealthy duffers who have spent a pretty penny for the privilege of being pummeled."

Fun show good turn out and unlike last year it was a real cycling crowd

Markleeville

The Markleeville Death Ride is in July every year. Epic would be the Everest Challenge, basically 2 days worth of Death Ride. What's Three Peaks?

Saw the movie last night. Good, but photography didn't seem as impressive as last year. Smaller crowd here than last year.
