Levi Leipheimer wins Leadville 100 Mountain Bike Race in 2010

This past weekend I had the opportunity to race in the Leadville 100 Mountain Bike Race. Unfortunately Lance Armstrong was not there but Levi Leipheimer was there and crushed the course recorded that Lance set last year.

It is an epic event!

Below is a picture of Levi getting his feed before heading up to Columbine.

Prius installation of rear hitch and rear bike rack: prius-bike-rack-instructions

Have you been thinking about getting a Toyota Prius but have wondered how you will be able to carry my bike around?

There is an answer! Why not have the best of both worlds; great gas mileage and the ease of carrying two bikes around. A rear hitch-mounted bike rack is one of the best option for Toyota Prius owners or shoppers looking into buying a Prius.

Although the Toyota dealerships will install the trailer hitch for you, installation is easy and something you can do on your own. You can install the hitch in about 30 minutes or less.Things You Will Need That Are Necessary:

  • Trailer hitch Curt Model 11468
  • Socket wrench with a 14m and 17m socket
  • Hand socket wrench with a 10m socket
  • Flat head screw driver for releasing the plastic rivets holding the underbody fascia in place
  • Heavy scissors or tin snips to trim the plastic under-body fascia
  • Extra set of hands to help you lift the trailer hitch into place

Things That Are NOT Necessary But Helpful:

  • Mechanic’s Creeper
  • Drive-on Ramps
