S0E3: One Gear and a Great Year
Ask yourself: what would it take for you to call a race your best ever? Would you need to win? Set a personal record? Move up in your category’s standings? That's what Fatty has always looked for, and this year — his first on a single speed — had none of those things. But it's still stands out as one of his favorite days on a bike. Enjoy this bonus episode!

S0E2: Three Racers, One Great Finish
Fatty and two of his best friends, Bob and Dug, each tell their story of racing the 1998 Leadville Trail 100. All of them had big plans, and not one of them hit their goal. Somehow, though, all of them had a pretty amazing experience (although Fatty probably should have gotten stitches afterward). Enjoy this bonus — i.e., not one of the weekly episodes of the show — story the next time you need a little Leadville inspiration.

S0E1: Fatty's First Leadville Trail 100
Way back in 1997 the Leadville Trail 100 Mountain Bike Race was capped at 400 people — one fifth as many as today! — and all you needed to do to get in was mail in your registration. Fatty was there, and wrote up his story, now read for you twenty years later by Fatty himself. See if you can catch all the things he got wrong (the food he ate, the names of parts of the course, much more).
