Many people ride the
Leadville Trail 100 every year.
I grew up racing sailboats with this guy in Florida. His wife was in the Navy and they ended up moving away. A few years later she retired and they moved to South Carolina where he worked at a bike shop. A week before Race Across the Sky he was back in Pensacola, Florida for a sailboat race and ran into my parents. He asked how I was and what I was up to. When she told him that I was working on a bike movie, he asked about it. Once he heard it was Race Across the Sky, he told my parents that he already had his tickets and was going to try and get in to race it next year.
That’s one Leadville miracle.
My brother works on a ship in Houston guiding oil tankers to their slip. Each day he works with a new captain. A week ago he worked with a captain who’s into bike racing. My brother asked him if he heard of the Leadville trail 100 and turns out he raced in it, and saw the movie twice.
Bam! This was another Leadville miracle.
