Next, they will enjoy a creek-side, 7-mile, gradual climb to Copper Mountain, followed by 5 challenging miles to the Vail Pass summit. Finally, they will coast, predominantly downhill, 16 miles to the Bully Ranch at the Sonnenalp Resort for a barbecue, live entertainment, silent auction, and more.

Remember this is a casual ride…NOT A RACE! The casual ride will start in Breckenridge and follow the recreational path 10 miles to Frisco. Next comes a gradual 7-mile climb along the creek to Copper Mountain followed by challenging miles to the Vail Pass summit. The end is a coast, predominantly downhill, 16 miles to the Bully Ranch for a BBQ, and silent auction prizes.
