As cyclists—including Lance Armstrong (pictured)—dealt with the 100-mile trail and 14,000-vertical-feet climbs for the annual Leadville 100 mountain bike race this past AugustLeadville 100 mountain bike race this past August, cameras followed to catch all the drama in the former mining town in Colorado. Now, Race Across the Sky: Leadville Trail 100 is set to debut on October 22 at 8pm EST in select cities. Along with the film, all audiences will be privy to a pre-recorded panel discussion with Armstrong (who, of course, won the race by nearly a half an hour), his coach Chris Carmichael, six-time Leadville 100 champion Davie Wiens, and other elite and amateur cyclists. They'll tell you how to use their personal, race-proven techniques to overcome every challenge, whether its the clock, the weather or a pesky 2 mile-high elevation. —Laura Buckley; Photograph courtesy of Race Across the Sky
