GPS Route File & Instructions:
Team Evergreen has created a GPS file for the 2011 Triple Bypass (1 GPX file for each day) which includes waypoints for turns, aid stations, towns, ect., and a "Bread Crumb" (approximately 500 track points) for the route. To download the GPS route file, simply click on the file link, then File > "Save As" and save the file on your computer desktop or in a file folder of your choice. **Do not be concerned about the Html language that appears when you click on the File Link. You can transfer the waypoints and track log to your Garmin GPS using the Garmin MapSource software. As the "Bread Crumb" has +/- 500 track points, it not recommended to "navigate" the Bread Crumb. Simply view the Bread Crumb on your GPS display to verify on course navigation. You can navigate to any of the additional individual waypoints in the file. *Note: Track log data can be transferred to the Garmin Edge models using the MapSource software, although track logs cannot be transferred from the Edge to MapSource. You can also use other manufacturers GPS units and software to transfer the GPS data, as the .gpx file is a common file format.
Users can create an auto route in the MapSource software between the Start and Georgetown, Silver Plume and Summit County High School, and East Vail to West Vail using the included waypoints. Bike paths along the route preclude the MapSource software from creating an auto route for the entire ride. A direct route can be created for the entire ride, but the route line connects the waypoints (point to point) versus having the route line follow the road as created by the auto route option. I suggest transferring the track log and waypoints to the GPS unit, and just select the option to show the track log on the map screen. The waypoints will also show on the map screen, and one can verify they're on course from the visual presentation on the GPS screen. Recommend GPS screen magnification is between 500 ft and .3 miles.
Please note: The track log is actual data from the 2009 ride and incorporates route changes for 2011. Waypoints should be accurate, as tested on the 2010 Triple Bypass. The route is extremely well signed and marshalled.

SAG SUPPORT:
Friendship Bridge serves as Team Evergreen SAG volunteers. Each will be prepared to transport you and your bicycle to the next aid station. Look for the green Team Evergreen SAG magnetic signs on their vehicles.
PRIVATE SAGS:
To ensure an optimal experience for all, Team Evergreen has banned all private SAGs on Highways 103 (Squaw Pass) to Echo Lake, and Highway 6 / Loveland Pass. Swan Mountain Road will be closed to vehicular traffic from Highway 6 to Highway 9. In addition, TE requests that private SAGs park in designated locations at all aid stations and to stay off the rest of the route to the greatest extent possible. If you want to cheer on riders, the best places to do so are in Idaho Springs and Loveland Aid Stations. Please refer to the TE website for Alternate Driving Instructions for private support vehicles.
