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.
