OFFICIAL SUPPORT VEHICLES
Official support vehicles (SAG) will be available for riders needing assistance throughout the day. Be prepared to provide dispatch with your approximate location and reason for calling (i.e., mechanical, need a ride, or emergency). SAG vehicles are instructed to always move riders forward. They will not return you to the previous aid station. Any SAG taken after Aid 2 will take you directly to the finish.
MECHANICAL SUPPORT
Mechanical support provided by Mike’s Bikes for tire fixes and simple adjustments will be available at all aid stations. If you have a mechanical issue during the event and are unable to proceed to the next aid station, call SAG dispatch [number to be confirmed for 2025] and a support vehicle will pick you up as soon as possible.

The ride is supported by a large medical team. You will find a First Aid tent at all Aid Stations as well as roving medical support in vehicles and on bikes on course. If you need medical assistance, please call the SAG number (to be provided).

(See Friends and Family Transfers).

Your Triple Bypass Entry is non-refundable
You will see optional rider cancellation coverage offered by a third party available for purchase during registration. The optional insurance generally covers accidents and illness leading into the event. The optional is not a ‘change my mind policy’. It does not cover change of plans, lack of training, minor injuries, general sickness, bad weather day etc. Please consider purchasing additional rider insurance if you would like extra peace of mind and check the policy limitations before you purchase.
[No exceptions. Please don’t email us and ask for a refund. It is unfair to those who invested in insurance, and we hate being the bad guy. We have provided a number of options for you.]
DEFER TO 2026
If your plans change, you may defer your entry for a fee. The fee is paid when you defer, and you will not be charged when you sign up in 2026.

June 14 to July 3, 2025 - $120 fee
If you decide after July 3, 2025 (10 days before the event) that you can’t ride we will hold a place for you for 2026, but you will have to pay the full fee again.
Deferrals are not transferable, they are for you to return and finish what you started.
If you defer before May 1 and you ordered additional gear, we will refund you for your purchase. If you defer after May 1 (after ourgear order has gone in), we will endeavor to sell your gear and refund you. If we are unable you will be responsible for picking it up or asking us to ship it.
If you defer you do not get a 2025 jersey.
