Koppenberg Circuit, August 30th
In case you were not aware, we had to cancel this race three times this spring because
of mud on the hill. But being racers like the rest of you, we are not quiters and vowed
to make the race happen this year. And in order to keep our sanity we had to change
the rules to make the race happens.
Yes, we are CHANGING THE RULES. From here on forward the race will not be
canceled b/c of mud. In the future, if the hill is unrideable, then the expectation is that riders
will hike the bike up the grassy sides and remount on top. So this means it is highly recommended
that if it is wet outside, you bring Mountain Bike shoes and pedals. We will investigate footbath options (seriously)
on top of the hill in case of mud on the cleats before remounting.
Call it what you like, a road race with a potential hike, the longest cyclocross race with the shortest
running section. Whatever, but at least we will be racing on a bike.
With the past postponements and to avoid confusion, here is a list of
registered riders as of 8/17. Let us know if we need to add you.
If you want a refund because you can not make the new date,
we are relunctantly letting that happen. But if you want to donate your race entry to help us
offset the costs from the three previous cancellations, you ca do that too.

The spring classic Koppenberg Circuit is back for its
seventh running in 2009. New for 2009, we are part of the
Tour of Colorado !
The race is road cycling event with dirt road sections modeled after
the infamous European Roubaix race. The 5.5 mile loop consists of a 2.5 mile dirt section that
ends with a short but very steep hill. The 200 meter long "Koppenberg" hill has a 17% slope and takes
its namesake from the legendary hill in the Tour of Flanders
hill in the Tour of Flanders.
The remainder of the course is rolling paved road.
There are no dirt downhill sections and the entire course
is rideable on a road bike which makes for a very safe course.
But don't be deceived last year's race proved to be difficult and a true test of attrition.
The number of laps may be short, but between the climbing and dirt sections, its not as easy as it sounds.
Good Luck !

| Route |
The race will start behind Costco on 76th street and finish at the same location, NOT at the top
of the Koppenberg hill.
The race starts just north of Sycamore Rd on 76th and heads south, the course bears right (south west)
onto Coal Creek Drive. After
500 meters the road becomes dirt. Follow
the dirt road until the gate and make a right up the "Koppenberg Climb". After
the climb, head north on 66th St and continue to Marshall Rd. At
Marshall, head east, up the hill and descend until 66th St making a right turn.
Proceed to the start / finish. |
