    S7E00: Getting In & Getting Info

    In this mini-episode, Hottie and Fatty encourage you to enter the lottery for the 2024 LT100...but also, to not expect to get in the race that way. We dig into what the surefire ways are to get in, what the tradeoffs are, and strategies to get in that cost less (but are also less certain) or that require more time and patience. Also, we have a request as we plan out Season 7 (!!!) of this show: fill out our listener survey at leadville.fm/survey. It will help us help you get ready for the highest and hardest one day mountain bike race in the country.

    S6E23: Racing With Power (Meters)

    S6E23: Racing With Power (Meters)

    We've never raced the Leadville 100 with a power meter, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be done. There's a lot to be learned from racing with power, and a good case to be made for it. Coach Jonathan Lee of TrainerRoad joins us to make that case. 
    We also take on the question of whether it's worth the time and travel for flatlanders to spend less time in Leadville, and more at a midway point (altitude-wise) like Denver. For once, Hottie and Fatty actually agree on the answer. Astonishing!

Love It

I have been listening to Fatty since you “tried out“ for a professional cycling team. Through blogs and podcasts I’ve come to appreciate him and this race he loves so much. Throw in hHottie and now you have a bangers podcast that really does a great job promoting this race. At some moments I’m inspired to try to partake but it ain’t gonna happen.

THE source for all things Leadville MTB

Fatty and Hottie combine knowledge, experience, humor, and great personal chemistry to help anyone learn what they need to make their Leadville Trail 100 MTB race the best that it can be. Technique, gear, fitness, nutrition, and the course, all covered with the perfect amount of detail in an incredibly engaging manner. When I see the "new episode available" mark appear on the LT 100 tile in my podcast app, I stop everything and give it a listen.
