Triple Bypass 2026

Set your sights on the majestic Rocky Mountains in the United States 🇺🇸. The festivities on offer at this cyclosportive monument absolutely do not do things by halves.

The asphalt launches you into a breathtaking alpine setting, but demands a heavy physical toll as you string together three beyond-category passes (the famous "Triple Bypass"). Your steed will have to painfully climb up to Juniper Pass (3,395 m elevation), take on the wind-swept slopes of the formidable Loveland Pass (peaking at 3,654 m), before wringing out your last reserves on the endless Vail Pass (3,218 m) 🚴‍♂️. Your effort weaves between dense conifer forests, crystal-clear lakes, and sweeping views of the snow-capped peaks of the American Continental Divide 🌲.

Put the fierce war of the stopwatch out of your mind—this legendary event isn’t an official race but a true personal survival challenge where camaraderie reigns supreme 🤝. Incredible volunteer teams welcome you at epic aid stations to recharge your batteries in the middle of nowhere. A purely mountain-born fervor carries you to the finish arch, where a huge banquet and a freshly brewed beer await you as a trophy 🍻.

Keep a minimum of vital strength to sift through the valley’s nuggets once your carbon frame is put to rest. Bring your tribe along for a restorative stroll through the charming European-inspired cobblestone streets of the upscale village of Vail ⛷️. Also point your duo toward a leap back in time aboard the spectacular historic steam train of the Georgetown Loop Railroad, which winds above narrow canyons. Secure your pass at lightning speed and come make your big chainring roar on the roof of the Rockies! 💥
