Biking, in the mountains ... Not quite "mountain biking"
|
By Steve Outing on 8/6/2006 on Steve Outing's blog Given the choice, I'll go on a mountain bike ride over road riding any day. But I still like to mix it up and count myself as an enthusiastic road biker. Yesterday I rode the Copper Triangle on my Trek 5200. This was the first time for this road event, which starts and ends at Colorado's Copper Mountain ski resort, going through Leadville, Minturn and Vail. The tour (this was not a race) covers 80 miles (although the event website says 78, both my bike computer and GPS put it at 80) with a bit under 6,000 feet of climbing over three mountain passes. |
