However, in the summer of 2012, I got burned out enough to take up different hobbies. When my wife, Heather, and I moved to Colorado a few years later, I was introduced to Triple Bypass, and the event captivated me.

The awe-inspiring scenery, formidable challenge, and rare format of Triple Bypass reignited my passion for cycling! Even though it's not officially a race, Triple Bypass became a competitive outlet—I approach it as a time trial—and a compelling reason to ride my bike again after collecting dust for years. What's more, the hard-working folks who organize it at Team Evergreen Cycling are a friendly, welcoming bunch who've built an exciting community for cyclists of all kinds. With them, you always enjoy the ride!

Of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't give special thanks to my wife Heather for all the support she's given me in pursuit of my goals for this event! A few of the happiest moments I've had on this ride come from the encouraging messages she sends me that appear on my bike computer after completing key segments.
