    Default begging for money!

    Is it possible to ride just part of the route with you? My current long rides are ~30 miles.

    Well I suspect you could hop on one of the aid vehicles and hitch a ride anytime you needed it, but to do so you'd probably have to officially register for the copper triangle. Otherwise, you'd want to have someone planning to meet you in Leadville or Minturn.
    That being said, I've ridden the copper triangle 4 years now, this will be my 5th, and all of my training rides are 15-40ish miles. I've never trained the full length of it, you just get in decent shape and eat along the ride, taking it easy when you need to. I'm sure you could make it with the proper amount of willpower, that's all that ever gets me through it.

    edit: oh and some advil.
