Registration for the 2012 Death Ride® event is now closed. If you registered we look forward to seeing you in July! If you were not able to get a spot, check back for a possible 2nd rush registration in March of 2012. Or you can ride in the event by becoming a Sponsor or by participating in one of the bike camps.
NEW No Transfer Policy:
Observations have been made by many event riders and the Death Ride® office that some riders try to skirt the rules by registering and not showing up, registering multiple times or selling their spot for profit. It creates a very unfair situation for the riders that wish to participate but can’t because of the lack of available registrations. The policy of the Death Ride® is to give every registrant an equal chance at entering the event. It is a combination of the Death Ride’s® fairness policy and the significant amount of difficult registrations that force the Death Ride® to have a “No Transfer Policy” for the 2012 event.Entry Fees:
The 2012 Death Ride® event entry fee is $120 for single riders and $240 for tandem riders. This entry fee DOES NOT include the Active.com processing fee. No-show spots if available will be released and sold on Friday 07/13/12 for $140.00 cash only.Cancellations & Refunds:
Riders will be able to cancel their ride entry until 03/13/12. Active.com will issue a 50% refund of your entry fee. This refund will take up to 2 weeks to process once received by Active.com. Processing fees are not refundable. Rider will have to notify the Alpine County Chamber of Commerce in writing of this cancellation on or before 5:00pm PST on 03/13/12. You can email your cancellation request to info@deathride.com or fax it to (530)694-2478. If your credit card has expired your entry fee will be non-refundable.2nd Rush Registration:
On 03/14/12, Active.com will re-open registration at 10:00am PST to fill the cancelled spots. If you didn’t make the first round here is your chance to get in the event during the 2nd round of registration. This is not a guarantee that a 2nd rush registration event will take place.
Helpful Hints for Registration Day:
