It’s been a busy week and I haven’t had much energy so I haven’t written up more about the Leadville 100 yet. My sinuses have been painful for the last couple weeks. Yesterday I commuted by bike and every time I hit a bump I had pain shoot through my teeth. Today I went to the doctor and they did a CT scan. They said they’ve seen worse but I have a pretty bad sinus infection.
There are a lot of good blog entries, articles and pictures about last weeks Leadville 100 mountain bike race. I’ll start with a few of them and keep adding to this post as I find them and have time. Feel free to add more links in the comments or send an e-mail to me and I’ll add them to the list.

Thanks for all the photos. I certainly didn’t get to as many places as you did in Leadville. We were a few feet or yards from each other at start and finish. Next time we should say hello!
From looking at your pictures, we probably nearly literaly bumped into each other. Great article!
