If any non-kayaking folks happen to read up on First Descents and agree that this is the coolest charity in the world, we are also raising money and awareness by racing the Leadville 100 off road race next month. How better to attract attention to a worthy cause then racing a ridiculous all day event, over some of the most grueling terrain in the country, at over 10,000 feet of elevation, with 14,000 feet of total climbing! I know a better way, race the greatest endurance athlete of all time....Lance! Mr. Armstrong is returning to the race that inspired him to come out of retirement. He better watch out, Heavy Kevie has been on a diet and biking to work every day to get ready.
