Has the Leadville 100 Jumped the Shark....

Hopefully not, because I was kinda sorta planning on doing it next summer.....and I don't wanna be "that" guy that is always late to the party. Anyways, based on the upcoming movie about Lance and Leadville.....I suspect everyone's grandma will be vying for entry next year. Ugh. How did endurance mountain bike racing become so popular? Regardless, the scenery looks spectacular and thin air gives you less air resistance....right? Who's in? Lottery for entry usually opens in January.

Nice teaser. I'd go see it. In IMAX?

I finished the Leadville 100 5 times. Tried again this year but had a stomach bug. After puking twice in the 1st few miles, I figured out I wasn't going to be able to will myself the whole way.

I remember when I thought it was big when it was capped at 750 riders. This year they let in nearly 1400. From what I heard they turned more away than got in.
