BIKE NUMBERS AND WRIST BANDS
You must wear your event bike number and wrist bands at all times!! Your bike number must be attached to the top tube of your bicycle. 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 lunch.
POST-RIDE ALPINE CELEBRATION & LUNCH
Stick around after your ride for the Alpine Celebration and Lunch. Check out the latest cycling gear, accessories and nutritional products. You can find great bargains on apparel, equipment and more. Tell your friends and family that the expo is also open during the event. So, while you are out on the course, they can enjoy the exhibits.
The lunch is FREE to all Copper Triangle participants. Your wrist band will act as your ticket for your lunch. Tickets to the lunch will also be available for friends and family for $20 each.
PARKING
If you are staying at Copper Mountain, you will be given a parking pass when you check-in. That pass will give you access to the underground parking. For those of you who will be coming up for the day, there will be plenty of parking in the ski area parking lots. The “A” lot is the largest parking area and is about 1/2 mile ride to the Pavilion and Start line. – See Map – http://www.coppertriangle.com/ride-guide/
