The views were amazing the only part that is a little nervous is the last 3 miles of the climb to Climax.

Nice sceanery, rode cooper triangle event. Bicycle route felt safe. Gradual inclines, long descents. Vail pass starting from east end to top of vail pass very challenging up to mile 74.

Beautiful scenery. Between Leadville and Mintirn there is barely any shoulder and the road is in very poor condition, but they are in the process of resurfacing it.

The ride is challenging. Took us 5 hours, 15 minutes but the last 10 miles are uphill. The descent was awesome though
Just completed the Copper Triangle today, my first time. This was the most satisfying big ride I have ever ridden in! The support was phenomenal, the route was well-marked, the aid stations properly placed and fully stocked. Colorado weather cooperated , which was the one variable with all kinds of possibilities. But, even if it had rained, the ride would have been completely doable. Looking forward to doing it again next year!

Tough challenge for anyone, most especially if not acclimated to the altitude.

Gorgeous scenery. Great ride during the event - lots of traffic, but on-course support makes it bearable. Very well supported by CT organizers.
