The beautiful century route goes North to Leadville, along the scenic rolling hills of Turquoise Lake Road, around the Mineral Belt Trail passing aspen groves and conifer forests, meandering through the historic Leadville Mining District, and back to Buena Vista in the shadows of Colorado’s highest mountain peaks. Nearly all of the climbing is completed over the first 60 miles of the ride, with the last 40 miles essentially downhill to flat! Riders also have options to take shorter routes including a 35 miler, a 50 miler, and a “metric century” (62 miles) while still enjoying the Collegiate Peaks’ magnificent scenery.
Air Force Academy Crit/RR/TTT
April 14-15 The TimeTrial course will run from the athletic fields, up the overlook on the north side of base, screaming down the hill to Stadium Blvd, and finishing up with a gradual rolling downhill to the 10ABW HQ (past the stadium and airfield).
Last year, the criteriumwas held at the stadium. While it's a nice course (fairly non- technical), officials are trying to move it to the athletic fields this year out of convenience for registration and medical support. If it's moved, it'll be a large rectangle around the outdoor track, lacrosse fields, and baseball field. It'll still be a great scenic event.
The road race is
normally a big loop of the entire base which requires going through the southern housing area in Pine Valley. The road race is still looking to be approved.
