Are you up for an epic adventure this July? Take a ride through Colorado’s majestic mountains for the 32nd Anniversary of the legendary Triple Bypass. Join more than 4,500 participants who will enjoy music, food and fun after taking on and meeting the challenge.
The Triple Bypass, presented by Team Evergreen, is one of Colorado’s premier cycling rides and is celebrating its 3st Anniversary this year. One day in July 1988, a group of avid cyclists decided that it would be fun and challenging to ride from Evergreen to Vail, Colorado. And so it was, 32 years later and thousands of more cyclists riding beside them. The Triple Bypass returns July 13, and takes you on a gorgeous tour through the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains from Evergreen to Avon while climbing three epic mountain passes.
Saturday, July 13, the Triple Bypass begins in Evergreen (Bergen Park) and heads west 120 miles riding over three majestic peaks, Juniper Pass (11,140 ft.), Loveland Pass (11,990 ft.), Swan Mountain and Vail Pass (10,560 ft.) and finishing in the town of Avon. Cyclists will climb over 10,000 ft. of challenging elevation gain with limited vehicular access and closed roads, making for a thrilling, safe and fun ride.
New for this year, cyclists have the opportunity to ride two shorter versions. The Double Bypass, which will begin in Georgetown and ride 75 miles while climbing over two passes finishing in Avon or The Single Bypass, starting in Copper Mountain and riding 40 miles over Vail Pass and finishing at the same destination. All three rides will be held on July 13.
