- The final episode of Season 3. Five separate stories that you have watched grow over the last 5 months, culminating in Leadville for the race. What is often missed in this project is that we truly believe in building a team, a family and more, that it would be even tougher to do alone. Sit down on your couch with some popcorn and a blanket, but don't forget to bring your friends - this one is full of moments that will make you want to get off the couch!
Thank you to Dylan Hyman, Rebecca Bullock and Jackson Buscher of Hour Theory Productions for editing this episode so beautifully. It started as almost 23 hours of footage!
Of course a bigger thank you to: Megan Mouser, Mohnish Chakravarti, Brindley Faile, Kawika Mitchell and Amani Toomer who sacrificed and suffered for months to get to this point.
Alexey and Ryan - Спорт
I cry EVERY TIME. But especially watching Brindley realize she's going to finish (and knowing how much more she had after that point). Just crying.
Almost 15 miles left! ahhhhhh I'm going to watch again
Love you Sarah!
Thank you for capturing the essence of Leadville for the rider who takes on hard things. It is so much more than an individual challenge, families are tied to the effort. It is life changing to realize how those you love want you to reach a big goal.
Leadville is not like any another race it is such an amazing experience.
YES!! Romantic some would say :)
Thanks for the emotions Brindley's family
Right?! The BTS of everyone cheering is AMAZING!
I have watched the entire series more than a few time. What blew me away was Mohnish's finishing time. He killed it!
He dedicated himself to the goal of finishing sub 12 and it was impressive to watch his progression!
So cool. Rooting/rooted for everyone, but especially Megan since I'm married to one (and her uncle was a park ranger in Leadville for 30 years).
Without a doubt that this is one of the best documentary series ever! Knowing all the hard work that goes into making this series, and keeping your own training and just finishing up the Life Time Grand Prix would it be to soon to be asking for the next season now? LOL😂
We are working on S4!
There's just so much good here . . . One of these days Leadville, one of these days
Way to go Brindley!!! You crushed it!!
Congratulations to all. You were a joy to watch this season. Best of luck with your next adventure.
Couldn't have done it without you guys! Thanks for being part of the family!
Wow. Go amateurs! Go us! :-) Congrats to all for toeing up to the line!
Thank you!!
Just found this series today, and because it was 70 mph gusts outside today, I binge watched all 3 seasons. Fantastic series! Can't wait for the next one! Thanks FTGU!
Must have been a long trainer ride ;)
Amazing Project and Story!! I enjoyed every minute of this 2023 journey to Leadville! Can't wait until 2024.
Awesome! FTGU- you guys rock. I have loved every season and especially this one…but get the tissues ready! More PLEASE!
Thank you!! It's been an incredible journey!
I've been hooked since S1E1 but this episode was extremely awesome! This years team was the most inspiring yet. I'm not an emotional person but Brindley's epilogue made me well up. I will definitely enter the LV100 lottery again in december. I live close to leadville so if ftgu needs a support volunteer in 2024 let me know (assuming I fail to get a lottery spot). It's always bittersweet when the season is finished. Cheers.
The Leadville 100 mtb was the best athletic experience of my life.
The sheer adventure and scale of Leadville, combined with the community and race culture, for me, was unparalleled.
Racing it with my Mom as my crew was extra special.
Congrats to all racers. Dig deep!
To say this has been highly inspiring is an absolute understatement. I am ready to ride through a brick wall for this crew, so proud of all of them! Such a rewarding experience, one I hope to be a helping hand for S4 too.
Just found this series and binged it all week! Thank you, FTGU team! Well done.
Thank you!!
well done all of you riders and the FTGU team!!! appreciate all of you for doing this!
Thank you!!
What an awesome and inspiring series!! Have watched each episode from Season 1 forward multiple times. Congratulations to all for putting themselves out there and challenging themselves physically and mentally. Keep growing FTGU project!
Thank you!
There's nothing like Leadville and y'all captured the essence of it perfectly. It's such a special race for those participating and their families. Watching this brought back all the great memories.
I love this series, you are all so incredibly inspiring. Huge congratulations to all the riders for pushing their limits and realising that you are capable of so much more.
Thank you - they all killed it!
Amazing. Congrats to the finishers!
Thank you very much!
Great job guys!

Amazing job to everyone!!! Love the production.
Thank you very much!
Thanks for this! Incredible.
Thank you!
Such an inspiring production! 🙏
Thank you!
Wow, seeing them all fight so hard and making the cutoff…I genuinely cried! So inspiring, well done to everyone involved in FTGU 🙌🏼
US TOO!
Nice work people 👍
Thank you!
I've watched it 10 times and I still cry every time! What a special season!
One of the best, most inspiring series for amateur riders! Thanks FTGU for showcasing what this sport is all about 💓
Amazing series-you inspiring me to train for Leadville 2024-I’m 6 months into training-recovering from 2 hip surgeries and hip arthritis. So many days I think there’s no way I can do this, but seeing this years ftgu gives me more hope than ever!
YES!
I love this so much
Thank you!
What a storyline of effort and success all round. Totally inspiring….and gritty!
Congrats ALL!
You guys hit it out of the park! great finale! good to see Enzo and the others supporting the other riders. Great job Alexey and Ryan!! looking forward to another season hopefully!! This was EPIC!
I will trade high 5 training for a spot on season 4, deal?!?
We are hoping to launch a S4 soonish!
Absolutely amazing! Great job everyone!
Thank you!
Inspiring! Thank you
Incredible series yet again. Definitely some gritty riders!
It is crazy that the video caught a picture of me at the start line then caught me and my family when Amani got cut. Amani said he was doing fine until Columbine. Before he is speaking, you can hear me in the background telling my family the horrors of Columbine.
Love it!
I get the feeling that finishing on only 4 months of training is mostly about winning the genetic lottery. I'd really rather see the participants have a year or two of working consistently with a coach to prepare, to include long training rides in the mountains. In that case it would be a lot more about grit and determination and a lot less about who your parents are.
Not really - goes to show how far the willingness to work hard, and proper guidance to apply that hard work can take you
Going to have to agree with Mohnish below! Our goal is to have people take on something so difficult that you find a part of yourself you didn't know existed. What could you do if you had 6 months to change your life?
