World-Class Cycling

Celebrating 45 Years of Riding the California Alps

For nearly half a century, the Tour of the California Alps – Death Ride has defined endurance cycling in the High Sierra. On July 11, riders will take on 103 miles, over 14,000 feet of climbing, and up to six Hors Catégorie alpine passes.

This is a ride, not a race. Push for all six climbs or ride as far as your legs and lungs will carry you. However you show up, the mountains will meet you there.

Challenging. Iconic. Unforgettable.
