Five passes. 103 miles. 15,000+ feet of climbing. One unforgettable day in the Sierra Nevada. Since 1981, the Death Ride — Tour of the California Alps — has challenged cyclists to push their limits on a course through the breathtaking backcountry of Alpine County, California. It's more than a ride. It's a rite of passage.
