The numbers are designed to stick to themselves and not to your bike. The Colorado State Patrol has the authority to remove anyone without a bike number from the course. Attendants will be monitoring all aid stations and you will need to show your wrist band in order to receive refreshments. Your wrist band will also allow you to enter the post-ride Alpine Celebration and BBQ.

The Alpine Celebration and Barbecue is FREE to all Colorado Cyclist Copper Triangle participants. Your wrist band will act as your ticket for your lunch. Tickets to the Barbecue will also be available for friends and family at the Pavilion for an additional cost.

Rest your legs after a day in the saddle at the 2nd Annual “Tunes After The Triangle,” presented by Copper Mountain. This outdoor Concert is FREE to all Colorado Cyclist Copper Triangle participants. Its just another great excuse to stay for a night in the mountains.
New Orleans’ Bonerama is this years headliner!! http://www.bonerama.net/newsevents.html
The Band with too many trombones, plays everything from originals to vintage funk. Playing jazz standards and free improvisation, the group sounds like a Big Easy outpost of the Duke Ellington Orchestra. Mullins, the group’s rocker, instigated the group’s offbeat classic covers. So get out your dancing shoes and prepare for a tsunami of sound when the band rocks Burning Stones on Saturday August 2nd! We hope you will join us!
