The Copper Triangle populaire riders were treated to clear skies, cool weather and vivid fall colors, especially over the Battle Mountain and Tennessee Pass climbs. The course was a challenging 79 miles over Vail Pass, Battle Mountain, Tennessee Pass and Freemont Pass for a total elevation gain of 5,800 feet.

This populaire was one of the best supported too, due to the same day scheduling of the MS Society’s Biketoberfest that covered the same route and started in Leadville an hour earlier. RMCC riders were able to take advantage of traffic marshals on hand for Biketoberfest and negotiated the two roundabouts in Vail with ease.
