Book excerpt: After 20 years of talking about it, life-long friends Bud Hasert and Joel Hinkhouse finally qualified for, trained for, raced in and completed the 2015 Leadville Trail 100 MTB, an epic 100-mile mountain bike race at 10,000 feet in Leadville, Colorado. But their path was not without their fair share of mistakes, setbacks, successes and failures. In this book, you will see how these two Texans aspired, planned, prepared, and finished the "Race Across The Sky." It is not a training plan. Instead, this book is meant to inspire you to prepare to climb YOUR OWN Leadville, whether it's actually Leadville or not. Much of what is shared will dissolve some of the unknowns about America's premier mountain bike race. Questions that they had in their preparation and on race day are answered here. These stories will encourage you to follow your passion toward its peak. And once you get to that peak, keep climbing!
