Leadville Winter Mountain Bike Series #1


We loaded the bikes & headed to 10,200ft through the snow to ride bikes....yes to ride bikes. The first race of the 2010 Leadville Winter Mountain Bike Series was the East Side Epic. The snow caused some issue's for the race organizers who had a completely dialed course preceeding the snow on Thursday & Friday evenings. The new snow made for hard riding & the snow bikes definately helped the cause. It was a blast & we're looking forward to race #2 on February 20th...hope to see you there!
