The Triple Bypass Event will be held July 9th-10th, 2011. As many of you know the 122 mile ride starts in Evergreen and finishes in Avalon and includes 10,600+ feet of climbing. The ride covers three mountain passes (Squaw, 11,140′; Loveland, 11,990′; Vail, 10,560′).The 2010 ride filled in 45 minutes. For 2011, they are introducing a lottery-like system and adding 2 new ride options. They will have the traditional course, a new Reverse course ride and a new Double Triple course.
How Registration Will Work
Pre-registration opens at 8am on January 7th, 2011. You will need to choose a ride preference and an alternative preference.
A drawing will be held and winners will be notified on January 18. If your name is drawn, you can register for one of the three events (triple, reverse, or double triple). You will have a two day window to register on Active.com.
We have been trying to register since 815 am and cannot access the site
Do you know why this error keeps coming up for any of the links and the team evergreen page. We are very upset that we can’t register. We will keep trying today. I am at home and as far as I know, nothing is blocked on my home pc.
This is the error:
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /triple on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Barbara,
I’m sorry you are having difficulty. We aren’t directly affiliated with the Triple Bypass series nor with Team Evergreen. However, I’m happy to see what I can do to help. The error you are getting is probably from the server overloading from so many requests.
The best thing to do is to periodically keep trying the following links:
https://www.teonline.org/temem/tbp0.php
http://www.triplebypass.org/
http://register.triplebypass.org/
They should all go to the same place and depending on the server load one may work better than the other.
If you are still having difficulty, please contact Team Evergreen directly. webmaster@teamevergreen.org
From my understanding, this is the primary reason for the switch to the lottery system. Remember you have until January 11, 2011 at 8:00 a.m to get your name in the hat. If you can’t get through today, that’s ok, try again tomorrow.
You need to go down to the bottom of the form where you search for your name. If you don’t see your name, then it takes you to another page where you use the drop down to tell them that your name is not on the list. There is a programming error if you use the button straight from the Team evergreen screen and use the click here as it will not populate the fields. Try take the steps above.
Hoping to be a luck entry and get a spot!
I am in the triple bypass! I have completed once in the past. It took me 12 hours to finish. I’m looking for a group for training. Obviously I am a back of the pack rider. I have never worked with a group. For safety I would like to train in the mountains with a group. If it makes any difference I in 54 years old.
