Ride Day Info

Ride Day Information

The 23rd Annual Triple Bypass is right around the corner and we are praying for sunny skies and tailwinds. But, as we all know, this is Colorado and the chances of seeing a rain-free day (especially at 12,000 feet) are slim. That said - don't forget your rain gear on ride day! You can count on encountering rain at some point during the day, so appropriate rain gear is mandatory.

Other Required Items for All Registered Triple Riders include:

RIDER WRISTBAND, HELMET NUMBER & BIKE BIB PROVIDED IN YOUR RIDER PACKET. Don't forget to pick up your packet ahead of time. Packets will NOT be transferred from store locations to the start area on ride day. Your wristband will allow access to road closures on the route, amenities at the Aid Stations and is your ticket for the Finish Line BBQ! Riders will be asked to show the wristband to gain access at various check points throughout the ride. Please be prepared to show your wristband whenever asked by marshals along the course.

If you lose or forget to bring your wristband on ride day you will be required to get another one at the Packet Pickup tent at the start line. You will need to present identification and pay a replacement fee to obtain another rider number.

HELMET NUMBERS - will be provided again this year, in the form of stickers. Apply your sticker to your helmet front and center -- so the marshals can identify you as you approach. The sticker is required, as is a helmet.

BRING ID - We want to remind riders to always carry some form of identification with you and not to rely on your rider number.
