Meredith Root | Leadville Trail 100 Recap: The Mayhem, Magic, and Mistakes That Go into a Monster MTB Race

Meredith JUST completed the Leadville Trail 100 MTB 104 mile mountain bike race in Leadville Colorado. If you think this is a story of success and the power of planning, think again. Leadville is known for its... unknowns. And there were plenty of those. This conversation explores the entire experience of this monumental race through the lens of a very good amateur rider doing her first ever Leadville 100. What makes someone choose Leadville? What makes it so hard? How does it compare to a race like Unbound? And what were the biggest lessons? All of those questions will be answered and more in this candid, open, and detailed conversation. We hope you enjoy! You can find information on the Leadville Race Series here. If you want to learn more about Sagestone Adventure Lodge, click here.
