Levi Leipheimer wins Leadville Trail 100 mountain bike race in record time
Levi Leipheimer from Team Radioshack won Colorado’s Leadville 100 on Saturday, knocking more than 12 minutes off of the old record and finished about nine minutes ahead of Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski. Todd Wells finished 3rd with six-time winner Dave Wiens in fourth. The Leadville 100 is a 100 mile (160.9 K) epic mountain bike race within the high altitude mountains and valleys of Leadville, Colorado.
The majority is on back-country roads with some short sections of paved road. The entire course is 9,000 feet (2740 m) and climbs to 12,600 feet (3840 m). In 2009 Lance Armstrong won the ultramarathon race in a record time of 6:28:30. On Saturday August 14th 2010, Levi Leipheimer finished on his Trek bike in 6:16:37.
