Expert  622   Conifer, Colorado |  Subject: Copper Triange on Sunday 7/5?JuliaPurr and I are putting together another Copper Triangle ride Saturday morning. This is a great ride for all abilities. I think Julia wants to start fairly early. I will post the time once we figure that out. We will meet at the Copper Mountain Starbucks. Last year we had a nice group of riders of various abilities and everyone finished. Some of us bricked at 5 mile run after the ride (I may do that again). It is an awesome ride! Come join us!! The Copper Triangle (or Leadville Loop as it is called by many) has long been considered one of Colorado’s classic alpine road rides. Graced with breathtaking scenery, gorgeous roads and three challenging climbs, the Copper Triangle exemplifies cycling in the Colorado Rockies. 80 miles and lots of climbs and lots of fast descents! Here is a link to a map and elevation guide. I usually do it in the opposite direction... so that it is a downhill finish. http://www.coppertriangle.com/course.html http://www.coppertriangle.com/maps.html |

At this point yes... I have to see how my quads do this week. As of today, there is no way that I can run downhill. |

Pro 4277 Parker, CO | Subject: RE: Copper Triange on Sunday 7/5? I think I would like to join in. The earlier the better as I would like to finish up and head back to Denver before the July 4th traffic gets to bad. So if you decide on an early start time that will be good by me... |

Expert 622 Conifer, Colorado | Subject: RE: Copper Triange on Sunday 7/5? OK all, we are meeting at the Copper Mountain Starbucks at 7ish... We are hoping to be pedaling by 7:30. The ride should take 4.5-6.5 hours depending on your ability and how many rest stops that you take. The nice thing about this loop is that there are multiple stops to refuel. I usually do in Minturn and in Leadville. bring a light jacket and or/arm warmers just in case, other than that the weather looks great at this point. You will be so stoked that you did this ride! |

Pro 4277 Parker, CO | Subject: RE: Copper Triange on Sunday 7/5? I still plan on meeting up at Copper on Sunday for the ride. One question, I'm pretty certain I have been to the Starbucks inside the Copper Resort...this is the designated meeting place? So I should plan at parking my car at the resort? Sorry, seems there is new Starbucks popping up all over the place and I want to be sure I'm at the right meeting place.

Expert 622 Conifer, Colorado | Subject: RE: Copper Triange on Sunday 7/5? No. Once you take the Copper exit you will see the only gas station at that exit. Attached to the gas station is a Starbucks. You can't miss it and plenty of free parking. DD |

Extreme Veteran 454 Denver CO | Subject: RE: Copper Triange on Sunday 7/5? Okay okay I'll come too. I'll have to ditch my dog Consuela and my friend Beth, but I could use a good hard ride in the mountains. Now no one else needs to worry about being the slowest. |
