Death Ride - Tour of the California Alps

Are you fit enough for the Death Ride - Tour of the California Alps?

Recognized as one of the premier cycling events in the West, the Alpine County Chamber of Commerce and the Alta Alpina Cycle Club invite you to participate in the 26th Anniversary of the “Death Ride”, while enjoying the magnificent scenery and warm hospitality of Alpine County!

This year’s ride returns riders to our infamous five pass course including:

Monitor Pass (8314′)
Ebbett’s Pass (8730′)
Carson Pass (8573′)
Beginning and ending at Turtle Rock Park north of Markleeville, California, the five pass ride includes 129 miles and 15,000+ feet of lung busting climbing. You also have the option of riding one, two, three or four passes. For your safety, the first four passes will be closed to vehicular traffic for the ride.

Five pass finishers will receive a five-pass pin and be eligible to purchase an exclusive five-pass finisher jersey.
