Update 2/9/10 Email confirmations started going out tonight. I don’t how long it’ll take them to get through the complete list.

Thousands of mountain bikers have been anxiously waiting to see if they’ll get picked in the Leadville 100 lottery. In the past the new trickled across the country as people got their “yippee card” in the mail. This year the entry said lucky entrants would be notified by email by today, February 8th.

Entrants are going to have to be patient and wait a little longer. The site now says entrants will be notified by Friday the 12th. Most likely it’s because of sad news from Leadville last week.

Merilee and Ken are the Leadville 100 race promoters. Merilee’s 38 year old daughter, Megan, died in her sleep last week. I can’t imagine how devastated they must be. The funeral is today in Leadville. My thoughts and prayers are with them.

Condolences can be sent to the Leadville Office or in lieu of flowers donations in Megan name can be made to the Leadville Legacy Foundation.
