Lodging
Golden
Golden is one of the coolest spots on the Front Range and home to a pretty famous brewery. It’s the best place to stay pre-ride: close to the start, lower elevation, and close to packet pick up. Evergreen only has one hotel and it normally sells out very fast.

Ride Details
Triple Bypass
One July day in 1988, a group of avid cyclists decided that it would be fun and challenging to ride from Evergreen to the Vail Valley, Colorado. And so it was. Thirty-five years later and thousands of more friends beside them, the Triple Bypass is an epic bucket-list ride that has donated millions to charitable non-profits.
The Triple Bypass stretches 118 miles, with 10,800 feet of elevation gain over 3 mountain passes: Juniper, Loveland, and Vail.
Double Bypass
The Double Bypass travels from Georgetown(ish) to Avon in Vail Valley, Colorado. It’s a shorter, but totally sweet alternative to the longer Triple Bypass. After riding through Georgetown, the route takes you up and over Loveland and Vail passes to the finish line in Avon. Not quite ready for the full Triple? This one’s for you. Still not easy, but worth every mile!
The Double Bypass covers 75 miles, with 6,400 feet of elevation gain over 2 mountain passes: Loveland and Vail.

Your Triple Bypass Entry is non-refundable.
You will see optional rider cancellation coverage offered by a third party available for purchase during registration. The optional insurance generally covers accidents and illness leading into the event. The optional is not a ‘change my mind policy’. It does not cover change of plans, lack of training, minor injuries, general sickness, bad weather day etc. Please consider purchasing additional rider insurance if you would like extra peace of mind and check the policy limitations before you purchase.
[No exceptions. Please don’t email us and ask for a refund. It is unfair to those who invested in insurance, and we hate being the bad guy. We have provided a number of options for you.]
FRIENDS & FAMILY Transfers
There is NO public resale of entries. If you have a friend of family member who would like your entry we are happy to transfer it to them at any time. If this transfer happens after April 10th, they will be assigned your jersey size. They can very likely exchange it at the finish. The cost of the transfer is $15. PLEASE no posting of for sale entries on public websites/Craigslist etc. The transfer MUST be done officially in our system. We need updated contact information for the new rider. To initiate a transfer, please complete form here.

Prior to April 25, 2024 - $25 fee
April 26 to June 13, 2024 - $55 fee
June 14 to July 3, 2024 - $120 fee
If you decide after July 3, 2024 (10 days before the event) that you can’t ride we will hold a place for you for 2025, but you will have to pay the full fee again.
Deferrals are not transferable, they are for you to return and finish what you started.
If you defer before April 14 and you order gear, we will refund you for your gear. If you defer after April 14, your additional merchandise will be shipped to you or available for pick up. If you defer your entry you do not get a 2024 jersey. Submit deferral request here.
