Leadville 100 Mountain Bike Race


Lance Armstrong won the Leadville 100 mountain bike race on Saturday, the nation's highest-altitude endurance test, in record time.


Despite racing through freezing rain at the start and a flat back tire for the final 10 miles (see photo), Armstrong shaved nearly 17 minutes off the record, winning in 6 hours, 28 minutes, 50 seconds.


Slifer Smith & Frampton's Managing Broker, Eric Thompson, finished in 8 hours, 51 minutes reaching his sub 9 hour goal and got his big belt buckle award. Congrats to Eric!
