There was a meeting between some of the athletes and the organizers last fall, and among the many suggestions, doing away with drop bars at Leadville had near unanimous support. And, maybe even more surprising to some of y’all, it was who brought up the consideration of fairness. Getting a drop bar MTB to work usually requires getting an extra frame and going down a size, a luxury not everyone on the start line has…especially younger up-and-coming riders.
On top of that, most seemed to agree that having a mix of handlebar shapes wasn’t that sweet in a peloton going 40mph into a hole shot, and also might not set the best precedent for age group riders and their own bike setup decisions.
Yes, there are things about these events that could continue to use improvement, but plenty of examples of collaboration between the athletes and organizers the last few years too. I totally get the argument for bike setup innovation, Tomac glory content etc., but as our sport continues to professionalize in new ways, this seems like the right call for now. 🤝

#wintercycling
Oh, and quite a bit of chatter in the comments about how many batteries I had to keep charged for the 24 hours. The setup I settled on did require a good handful, but you might be surprised how many I actually had to replace or charge during the ride. Any guesses?
Before rolling up the sleeves with some new guests, and I thought we’d do a little story time episode from some of our favorite/least favorite/weirdest and silliest moments of 2025. We’d also love to answer a few of your questions at the end of the episode. We have some in the With Pace email inbox, but feel free to submit here via DM or comment as well. We’ll pick a few favorites.
Thank you for another great year with the podcast!
