1995 Leadville Trail 100

The Leadville Trail 100--traditionally a running event--has again welcomed the mountain biking community into its high-altitude world of pain this year. On August 12, riders crawled through Colorado's mining country on a course bouncing between 9,000 and 13,000 feet. The runners follow a week later, and we'll have the details right here.
