500 bicyclists descend on Copper over the weekend

Topsport Cycling, an event planning company and racing team located in Sonora, hosted the Copper Town Circuit Race held in Town Square on February 16, 2014.

This race, a 5.5 mile closed circuit race down Little John extension and back with a loop through Town Square, brought in over 500 bicyclists from as far away as San Luis Obispo.

Sheriff's community patrol and the Sheriff's explorer scouts helped out at the event as well as Deputy Eric Lisk.

Some proceeds of the race benefited the Copperopolis Parks and Rec.

The next Topsport race for Copperopolis is scheduled for April 6, 2014 which will include a run down Rock Creek Road as well as Little John Road.
