Saturday Leadville bike 5:00

I spent the day riding with a team Specialized pro mountain biker on the Leadville course. He's placed in the top 10 and has gone wicked fast. Could I ask for anything more in terms of prep for Leadville? I learned more today than I may ever learn. He elevated my technical skills to a whole new level simply by me riding behind him and following his line. His sponsors have rented him a house so I'll be heading up weekly to train with him from now to Leadville. This is awesome!
