Copperopolis

The roads of the Nor-Cal Paris Roubaix are known for taking their toll on riders and equipment. I would argue that Leesville Gap Road Race rivals Copperopolis in poor road quality because of a gravel section leading into the main climb. However, the descent from the second climb at Copperopolis can only be described as similar to holding onto the chrome bar in front of your seat on a 30-year-old wooden rollercoaster as you drop some 4 stories into the coasters twisting and turning track.
