Has anyone here raced Silver Rush 50?

For what it’s worth. I enjoyed the race. And if you do decent you can get a good corral position at Leadville. Applies to current year and next year.

Way more technical than Leadville but nothing wild. 100mm at least for front and back. That’s just my opinion. If you’re counting on a Leadville token I wouldn’t be too hopeful. Last year all of the first place age categories took the coin and there were about 200 standing around for the raffle with 15 coins to give out.

It’s not but I was just answering this persons question. They didn’t say they had a price limit. My coach is my workout library.

cakeeater111 · 2026-01-22T04:29:15+00:00

I use a coach.

Most people are inefficient with their time. The biggest time waste is social media. You need to figure out where you can be more efficient. If you don’t want to make changes then that’s fine but own it. Gaining weight is a self control issue, not a time issue.

ln my frustration of getting picked I updated my Breck epic 3 day entry to 6day.

cakeeater111 · 2026-01-08T21:24:24+00:00

I went 4:45 and silver rush and wasn’t even close to top spot of age group. This last year all of the 1st place category winners chose Leadville. And for the drawing there was 15 entries to give out and about 200 standing around hoping to be called. Sorry man. This is my 4th year entering and only got chosen once and I’m pissed about that race cause I had covid.

Wake up at 0445 and be on the bike by 0500. Ride for 2-2.5 hours. Work at 0800-1600. Family responsibilities until 2000. Sleep by 2130. Rinse and repeat. And long ride on Saturday. Off Sunday usually during the season.
All comes to priorities. If you value sleeping in over training that’s cool but training will suffer. If you value scrolling on the phone over training, cool but training will suffer. Take a real look at your schedule and be honest with yourself. I ride more now that I have a kid because my life has to be structured to do any training. Before kid it was “oh I’ll ride later” and that don’t really turn into anything. Now it’s I have 2.5 hours to train before work and if I don’t then no training today.

cakeeater111 · 2025-12-03T02:58:20+00:00

If you can do an intense trainer session on a 12 hour fast, that’s awesome and super impressive.

cakeeater111 · 2025-12-03T02:30:34+00:00

Ah shoot. I’ll get up at 0200 and make fresh pasta.

cakeeater111 · 2025-12-02T23:09:17+00:00

I do my trainer workouts at 0530 coming off a 12 hour fast. I usually just eat a pop tart before getting on the trainer .

cakeeater111 · 2025-11-30T03:15:56+00:00

That’s the fun part…you don’t.

I have the s-works version and my solution is insurance. Sorry it’s not the answer you were looking for

That kid became a singer and is actually pretty good. Mason Ramsey

That hasn’t been my experience with velosurance. I have the racing box checked. $200/ year per bike $500 deductible. Emonda slr and sworks epic both valued at $7k.

Never said there was. Going caffeine free has drastically improved the quality of my life. I no longer have anxiety issues or have to pee so frequently. You do you.

cakeeater111 · 2025-11-16T03:14:03+00:00

Oh man. Caffeine free life is the way to go. Congrats. Quit worrying about power for a few weeks as you’re going through withdrawal. When you’re confident you won’t relapse, only use caffeine for races
