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. *Denotes discounted Triple Bypass Rate and direct booking link.

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.
Please note, the Double Bypass start location for 2025 is still to be confirmed.
