Tune in here to this episode of Grits, Guts, and Determination, The Leadville Race Series Podcast, a leading authority for all things Leadville! Host Cole Chlouber, son of race founder Ken Chlouber, takes us on a story-telling journey of the 40-year rich history of this race. We learn all the tips, tricks, and stories from the Leadville community members! Joining us today is Randall "Bike" Bennett.

In this episode, Randall shares what it was like growing up on the wrong side of the tracks and not knowing it. Randall and Cole unpack all of Randall's early life challenges, challenges that started so early that "Digging Deep" just might be intwined into Randall's DNA.

Randall went on to find success in almost anything he touched, however, sometimes he found other parts of life that may have got lost in the shuffle. Waking up as a business success one day, left Randall realizing his physical appearance had taken a toll. In this episode you will hear how Randall not only took back control of his physical success but excelled at this also. Randal went from overweight to pedaling his bike over 12,000'! Today you can catch Randall spreading the word of Leadville while he's volunteering for, or participating in, his favorite LRS races.
