This Week at Copper
July 30 - August 12
Welcome to Copper,
Summer can be the best time of year to share with family and friends at Copper! Please enjoy all of Copper’s summer activities, as well as Fridays at Copper, Woodward at Copper Barn sessions and two great cycling events for two great causes - the Courage Classic, raising money for the Children’s Hospital and the Copper Triangle, working with the Davis Phinney foundations to raise funds for Parkinson’s Disease research.


Courage Classic, July 30 – Aug. 2
The 21st annual Children's Hospital Courage Classic returns to Copper Mountain for three consecutive, fun-filled days of cycling over three Rocky Mountain passes at the height of summer. About two thousand riders hit the roads from Leadville to Summit County and back, for a 157-mile ride, encompassing backcountry roads, challenging climbs and as always, picturesque views, all in an effort to raise money for The Children’s Hospital in Denver. To donate to the cause or for more information, visit www.couragetours.com.


Copper Triangle Bicycle Tour, August 7
The famous Copper Triangle has long been considered one of Colorado’s classic alpine road rides. Graced with 78 miles of breathtaking scenery, gorgeous roads and three challenging climbs (including Fremont Pass, Tennessee Pass and Vail Pass), the Copper Triangle exemplifies cycling in the Colorado Rockies. The 2010 ride works in partnership with the Davis Phinney Foundation to raise funds for Parkinson’s disease research. For more detailed Copper Triangle info, visit www.coppertriangle.com
