Triple Bypass
I've already signed up for the DOUBLE Triple Bypass on Sat July 11th and Sun July 12th (120 miles EACH day, Sat and Sun, Evergreen to Avon and Avon to Evergreen CO).
There are single day options, and shorter options too.
Anyone else in for this year?

I'm glad this wasn't a medical thing like I first thought. Enjoy that epic event@Scott Alexander
Thinking about doing double (not double triple) @Scott Alexander . Not nearly as crazy as you...
What in the world is this? Explain please.
I second Robert. I thought someone was having a CABG.

Ride over three mountain passes in CO. Triple is 10K feet of climbing, single and double obviously less.
@Scott Alexander I did this in 2012, I think. Coming down Loveland Pass Day 1, it was hailing, 40F, and I froze despite seven layers of clothing...Best advice I can give is: START EARLY! Like @ sunrise or before if possible
I just clicked the link @Bill Manard shared and got quite nostalgic. I an a CU Boulder Alum and have probably skied 1000x's at A-Basin.
I have fond memories of that whole area, Frisco and Lake Dillon started my love affair with Colorado :)
Oops, apologies for worrying y'all with the title! All is good!
I did the one-day triple bypass in 2016. Hard day for sure, so this is begging for some pain and lots of time in the saddle. Have 4 friends here in Dallas that are already signed up too.
It's all about Leadville though, so this is to get me to there.
Funny side note, some of you know how much of a beer guy/geek/snob I am. Well, when I did the ride in 2016, I was ahead of my goal time, so I actually stopped at the Vail Brewing company taproom, within the last 12 miles of finishing, and had a beer, before re-mounting and finishing the ride. Loved it! haha
Would be pretty epic to do the Double-Triple Bypass all in a single day... just sayin' 😀
Can't wait to read your race report! 😎
