Team Muleterro pulled it off. The first race ever on Leverich. Ever. Called it the Crankup. Good article in the Bozeman Chronicle outlined how it worked out. It's good that people recognized how unusual the setting is, and also how they liked it. Congratulations to Team Muleterro!!!
As a measuring yardstick for us mortals, John Curry cranked up 4 laps in 2 hours and 12 minutes! Thats around 10 miles per hour. That's also covering almost 21 miles and 4,400 ft of climbing (conservatively). Lydia Tanner smoked the women with 3 laps in a similar time. Still a goddesslike pace!
For those of you how haven't had the eyeball rattling pleasure of rocketing down Leverich, here is a link to a video Carl Strong made just the other day. He did a pretty fair job of keeping up for an old guy on a hardtail! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhLIGsBY5C8
