Copper Country Color Tour
The Annual Copper Country Color Tour takes place on the Keweenaw in late September. Well into its 4th decade. the Copper Country Cycling Tour is an institution. Rides of 50k, 100k & 200k showcase some of the Keweenaw's finest scenery. And if Mother Nature plays along, some of the best fall colors anywhere. The 50k ride is an out and back with turnaround just outside of Lake Linden. The somewhat more challening 100k route includes the hill and low-traveled Gay to Mohawk road, returning to Houghton via Mclain State Park. The 200k route is the granddaddy of all Keweenaw rides and features the Lac La Belle and Brockway Mountain (optional) climbs. A lunchtime pasty in Copper Harbor at the midway point will keep you going for the second half of the ride. The tour is sponsored by the Copper Country Cycling Club. Information, registration forms and on-line registration are available on the website. -
