Locals doing Leadville 100 MTB

[money]

We have three local folks doing the Leadville 100 Mountain Bike race next Saturday in Leadville, CO. Doyce Johnson, Phil Cohen, and Matt Kearns will be doing the race. I ride a good bit with Matt Kearns, I have ridden a few times with Doyce (man he is a monster), and I have ridden and done business with Phil. Everybody wish them luck, and a safe race and return back to the CSRA!

Good luck indeed, they'll have fun for sure.

I've met Phil a few times, never ridden with him. Rode with Matt once at a SMC pre-ride...a yanked of derailleur ended his ride early that day though. Doyce is indeed a monster. He made the podium in his class at the Cohutta 65, and that's a hugely competitive race. Finished 5th OVERALL, and 1st in his class in the SMC. They're all really strong riders.

Hope they know how to handle the altitude...the entire 100miles is over 10,000ft.

Tell 'em we expect a full race report when they get back!
