For the 30th consecutive year, Team Evergreen (TE) successfully presented the premier cycling events in the country, the Triple Bypass. In 2018, 45 local non-profits will receive $170,000 from the proceeds of the event. Included in the donations for this year is a reserve of $30,000 to provide funding assistance for trail projects that benefit mountain and road cyclists.
“The mission of Team Evergreen Cycling is to promote safe access and use to all riders in Colorado. With the new shorter distances we are offering at the Triple, we are able to engage riders of many abilities, which furthers our mission,” said Jennifer Barbour, Team Evergreen’s Executive Director. “We are fortunate to enjoy continued success, which results in donations to the non-profit groups and cycling advocates that support our events.”
