Happy New Year!

The Colorado Triple Bypass registration is now open. Some quick reference links are provided below. If interested, be sure to sign up soon as it filled up last year by mid Jan. Remember, number of riders are limited and there is no lottery.

Seven riders from the group have registered thus far including myself. If you are interested in participating, please email me at mogman@earthlink.net and I will add you to the email trails of those participating such that we can coordinate logistics as appropriate and as needed.

Regarding registration for Triple Bypass, you have an option to join Team Evergreen ($30 for individual) and you will receive discount on Triple Bypass registration (TE members cost is $105 versus normal registration at $145). You can have packet mailed to you around mid-June for an additional $6.50 (recommended). Jersey is included and size is selected during registration process.

SPECIAL REGISTRATION NOTE/HINT: If you register, be sure to register for both the Triple Bypass event and Team Evergreen at the same time using the active.com registration form to get discount (http://www.active.com/page/Event_Details.htm?event_id=1664294&assetId=0fff187a-efd3-4e28-a673-e538f3278bd7). Otherwise, you will experience some delays and will have to send in event registration by mail if you registered for Team Evergreen membership independently. Once you go into event registration, select the following: "Club Membership & Event Registration (Membership is additional $30 for Individual, $40 for Family" This will ensure you get discount as well as sign up for registration and membership at the same time. Two email confirmations will come from active.com once you have completed the process.

Logistics, such as depart date from STL, lodging in Colorado, shuttle back from Avon finish to Evergreen start location, etc., are still a work in progress.
