"After completeing my first Death Ride® I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. 10 years later, I'm back in 2012 to try it again. With 3 Team Chain Gang members by my side, I plan to complete all 5 passes again! Team Chain Gang is a cycling team I formed to help raise awareness for MS. I lost my eyesight and the ability to walk unassisted for a few years but for me it was all about the bike. My bike gave me the strength and confidence to learn to live my life with a new purpose. Look for me... my jersey says "Ask Me Why I Ride." Go Team Chain Gang! It's all about the journey... never give up!
- Lisa"Second year doing the Death Ride®. This year clipped 45 minutes off my total spinning time on the bike. I love the climbs, the support, the scenery, but oh, those sweeping high speed turns on the descents. What a GREAT event! Thanks Death Ride®!"
- Robert Cisneros" Thank You for an EPIC ride! Loved seeing all the motorcycle SAG drivers everywhere! The best organized ride and plenty of rest stops. The weather was incredible and I am so glad there was no hail going up Carson this year!"
- Karen Johnson"This rookie Death Ride® participant just wanted to say thanks to all the staff and volunteers who made this event what it was. One of the main reasons I was able to finish all 5 passes was because of how well taken care of I was along the way... especially by the rest stop volunteers! I never thought I'd be so excited about stickers, signing a finishers' board and receiving a finishers' pin... but I was. Thank you!"
- Kelli Badillo"Death Ride 2011 is in the books and I emerged victorious in the rubber match. It was a spectacular day in the CA Alps, never saw a wisp of a cloud all day, and the only wind worth mentioning was the headwinds up the final 12 mile climb to Carson Pass. My total rolling time was 11:29, 7 minutes slower than last year. But hey, I am a year older."
- Les McElhaney"2 miles from the top of Carson I had the tread blow out on my rear tire. I tried to wrap the inside with a $20, only made it another half mile. Really considered starting the long walk, when another rider stopped and offered up his spare folding tire. My hero! Tire worked and I made it up. I will definitely pay it forward."
- Adam Black"I would rename this ride the "Joy Ride." Thank you to everybody (volunteers, photographers, boy scouts, blue man,... all of you) who helped put this together. Absolutely loved all 5 climbs. The views resemble what heaven must look like."
- Victoria Montanez"Slowly but surely, mind over fatigue and pain, the pedals kept turning. It was at this point when I began to remind myself of why I was riding. It was for my supporters who had donated to TWFK to cheer me on, for the many underprivileged kids would have the dream gift of a new bike under the tree at Christmas this year if I finished and for the individuals who had come to cheer us on. There was nowhere to go but up."
