[Closed] Leadville 100, really a mountain bike race?

Who cares how hard the climbs are! CX racers run uphill and mince downhill.

most roadies I know cream me on the climbs but cant't descend for love nor money off road, and would struggle to bunny hop a twig

But put them at 50mph on a fast road descent then its a different ball game.

never really understood that.

Roadies: ride on roads and would therefore usually be good at it.

I'm equally poor anywhere these days... 🙁

You must know a different bunch to me then - 90% of the 'roadies' (I prefer to call them 'cyclists', you know, just like you) I know also own and ride mountain bikes and are equally as accomplished on them as they are on the road.

There's plenty of 'roadies' out there would would kick your arse off road too, you just ride with rubbish ones 😉
