The Death Ride® course includes both sides of Monitor Pass, both sides of Ebbetts Pass, and the final climb up the east side of Carson Pass.
Recognized as one of the premier cycling events in the West, the Alpine County Chamber of Commerce invites you to participate in the 28th 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 (8,314')
* Ebbett's Pass (8,730')
* Carson Pass (8,573')
Beginning and ending at Turtle Rock Park just 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 at specific times to vehicular traffic.
Five pass finishers will receive a five-pass pin and be eligible to purchase an exclusive five-pass finisher jersey.

Let's hope, my first time for the Death Ride, for my 50th birthday, I plan to complete all 5 passes.
