Way to go Coach P

I will be doing Leadville in 2024 I will be 67 at time of race . I have done 10k miles two years in a row . Do you think that a 9 hr goal for the race is even possible. Never done the race before . Bought my first mtb two weeks ago . I have done several gravel races and do well in my age group.

If you are around 4 w/kg 9 hours is possible

Thanks for the nice video. My goal is to compete in this same race. I still need to get a bike though. Would you say full-sus or HT?

Hey depends on your skills! I am NOT a good rider, so full sus for me was a prerequisite. Good luck!
