Leadville Finish Line - a podcast by Red Kite Prayer

The Pro-Roadie turnout at the Leadville Trail 100 got a lesson in altitude and fortitude. The Paceline breaks down how the boys who favor skinnies did in the thin air of the Rockies.

Fatty had another day to remember at the LT100. This was his 20th start. He had one mission and one gear. But as always, his benchmark race of the year provides lessons and memories for his archives.

Fatty has described the LT100 as an eating and drinking competition, so he and Michael will detail everything they ingested on race day.



Padraig also put down tracks in a mountain bike race. Find out what the third wheel was up to on the day of the LT100. Here's a teaser: there are splints involved.

We put our mountain biking aside for a moment to rip the surfer who went after a cyclist in Orange County, CA. Luckily there was a bike-cam recording it all. The tape tells all: this guy is a bona fide jerk and possibly a criminal.

Equipment choices are key at Leadville. Eagles were everywhere, including on the winners' machines.
