Triple Bypass Bicycle Ride

 Saturday, July 22, 2023 

Public transportation is the easiest way to access Harry A. Nottingham Park for the Triple Bypass Finish Celebration

The Triple Bypass is recognized as one of the premier cycling events in the United States. The ride is 120 miles from Evergreen (Bergen Park) over Juniper Pass (11,140 ft.), Loveland Pass (11,990 ft.), Swan Mountain and Vail Pass (10,560 ft.), concluding in Avon’s Nottingham Park for the finish celebration.  The Triple Bypass is presented by Team Evergreen Cycling, the largest and most charitable bike club in the state of Colorado. 

The Town of Avon is honored to host the Triple Bypass Finish Celebration and its 5,000 riders.   With that comes some impacts on traffic and parking patterns and guests should expect delays on Avon Road, Highway 6, and Riverfront Lane during this time.
