2008 Colorado Cyclist COPPER TRIANGLE ::: Alpine Cycling Classic ::: 08.02.08

ROAD CONSTRUCTION
A five mile section of Highway 24 approaching Tennessee Pass has been grated for road re-surfacing. The road is smooth hard-packed dirt. The Colorado Department of Transportation will do everything in their power to make it as smooth as possible. Please show caution and expect a bumpier Paris-Roubaix (the European Classic bicycle race famous for riding on the cobble stone roads of France) experience in this area.

The Colorado Cyclist Copper Triangle course is a spectacular 78-mile loop cresting three Colorado Mountain passes - Fremont Pass (elevation 11,318’), Tennessee Pass (elevation 10,424’) and Vail Pass (elevation 10,666’). The course passes three ski areas and is littered with historic mining outposts and camp Hale, the training ground for the famous 10th Mountain Division. The total elevation gain for the course is 5,981 ft.
