Colorado Triple Bypass 2010

For those of you familiar with the Colorado Triple Bypass, you know that registration for the 2010 ride was on January 13, 2010. For those who tried to register, many did not succeed. The event is limited to 3000 participants and it sold out in less than one hour this year (rumored to have taken 33 minutes to fill up).

If you know of anyone who was able to register and is not going to ride, please send me an email at mogman@earthlink.net. Have several riders interested in picking up available slots should someone not be able to go and use their slot. Alternatively, also let me know if you know of riders looking for slots.

Visit http://www.teamevergreen.org/ for information on the Triple Bypass.

For those who aren't familiar with the Triple Bypass, see the following link for the 2009 Triple Bypass start line video (9:27 minutes in length) :

In this video from 2009, you can see the Affton Terminal Services Team from St. Louis from the 5:27 minute mark to the 5:32 minute mark.

Hope to see folks getting out on the cycles soon!
