Event Logistics

Packet Pickup

There are a few ways for you to receive your packet. Be sure to pay attention during registration to select the option that works best for you and your schedule.

PACKET SHIPPING

During registration, you have the option for an entry that includes shipping.

IN PERSON PACKET PICK UP

In-person packet pick up will be held July 11 & 12 in Golden/west Denver area, Colorado (Location TBD).

A friend, teammate or family member can pick up your gear for you.

Early packet pick up is not available. Please don’t email us to ask if you can pick it up early. They will not be ready.

There is no packet pick up in Avon.

DAY-OF PACKET PICK UP

It is possible to pick up your number plate at the start line on ride day starting at 5:15am, but we strongly recommend you pick it up before at packet pick-up. There will be lines, and your ride will be delayed. Just sayin.’

Jerseys will not be available Saturday morning if you elect to get your number on the event day. We cannot guarantee you will receive the correct size if you decide to pick it up in Avon. Said with love, but you’ve been warned.


Directions & Parking

Triple Bypass

The easiest solution to parking on the morning of the Triple is to have someone drop you off. Parking is extremely limited in Evergreen. Absolutely no parking at drop-off locations. Buchanan Park (the start) is closed to all vehicles.

RIDER DROP OFF AREAS:

PARKING IN EVERGREEN:

There are several lots in Evergreen to park. All lots will allow you to leave your car Saturday night and pick it up Sunday morning. Park in designated lots or to the right of the white line on roadways (Bergen Parkway prohibited). Do not park near businesses or homes. Vehicles that are impeding traffic will be ticketed or towed. Please respect our neighbors. Do not park in no-parking zones.

DROPPING A CAR IN AVON ON FRIDAY

If you want to drop a car in Avon on Friday, overnight parking is only available at the Bear Lot, minutes from the finish area. Please place this sign on your dash to indicate you are with the Triple Bypass.

PARKING IN AVON (FINISH LINE)

The closest public parking to the finish area is the Bear Lot. The Town of Avon will run shuttles from the finish to this lot during the event. It’s also a short bike ride (<5 minutes). Additional parking is dispersed throughout the town center with a variety of on-street parking lots and parking structure spaces available on a first come, first served basis. Look out for Avon’s parking signs with easy-to-read blue circles and “P” designation. Please do not attempt to park near the finish line venue.

RIDER PICK UP AVON

Rider pick up will be at the First Bank parking lot. There is no parking in this lot, the driver must stay with the vehicle. This lot will be monitored, and cars left in this lot will be towed.

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.

Be prepared to provide dispatch with your approximate location and reason for calling (i.e., mechanical, need a ride, or emergency). SAG vehicles are instructed to always move riders forward. They will not return you to the previous aid station. Any SAG taken after Georgetown Aid 2 will take you directly to the finish.

MECHANICAL SUPPORT

Mechanical support for tire fixes and simple adjustments will be available at all aid stations. If you have a mechanical issue during the event and are unable to proceed to the next aid station, call SAG dispatch [number to be confirmed for 2024] and a support vehicle will pick you up as soon as possible.

MEDICAL SUPPORT

The ride is supported by a large medical team. You will find a First Aid tent at all Aid Stations as well as roving medical support in vehicles and on bikes on course. If you need medical assistance, please call the SAG number (to be provided). It is critical that ALL riders are registered and riding under their own names and provide us with updated emergency contact information. Please do not ‘give’ your number plate to another person. (See Friends and Family Transfers).

PERSONAL SUPPORT

The Triple Bypass is a closed route. Under no circumstances can any vehicles be on the course with you. There is NO public access at Aid Stations, with the exception of Aid Station #3 at Loveland Ski Area. Those who have support vehicles on the course will have their numbers pulled and will no longer be considered a participant. This is for the safety of all riders. Friends and family are still welcome to meet their riders along the way if they access the route on foot from non-closed roadways.

Refund Policy

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.


DEFER to 2025

If your plans change you may defer your entry for a fee. The fee is paid when you register for the 2025 event.

  • 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.


SELL to WAITLIST RIDER

When we sell out, we will provide options for you to sell your entry to a waitlist rider. Information will be updated when this option becomes available.
