Face it, your reaction and conjured mental image when hearing the words "columbine" and "powerline" are already vastly different than 99.99% of the people in the world.

We also introduce a new segment for this new season: Fatty's Tips for Finishing. With 25 Leadville 100 finishes (and one DNF) ranging from as slow as 11:27 (1998) to eight sub-9-hour finishes (including six singlespeed finishes and one singlespeed win), Fatty has learned a thing or two (sometimes from successes, often from mistakes) about how to finish the highest, hardest, one-day race in America.…

If you're ever at a Leadville Party and the energy starts to lag, you know with 100% certainty you can jumpstart the conversation by asking, "So what tires are the best for Leadville?" In reality, though, that question doesn't really make much sense until you understand the anatomy of tires: their composition and performance characteristics. That’s what we aim to do in this show. To help us, we have recruited someone who has no brand loyalty or connection: Velo and Pinkbike Sr Tech Editor Troy Templin. Get ready for some Tire Talk! In our LFAQ section, we focus on another hotly-debated topic: weight. There's a temptation to get as thin as possible for the LT100, and it makes intuitive sense: there's a lot of climbing in this race, and the less you have to drag up to 12,500 feet, the better. But Hottie and Fatty have both tried the "get as skinny as possible" approach and have some different opinions.
