Hi there,

I'm interested in doing the Death Ride next year - it would be great motivation to do a ton of hill work in the spring!

As I understand it, you get into the Death Ride by lottery? What time of year is the lottery? And what is the approximate cost if you do sign up?

Also, the website mentions that not everyone attempts all 5 passes. Phew. Anyone here deliberately set out to do fewer than 5 passes? I am thinking I could do 3 (76mi) without a problem, but is it worth it to sign up and not do the whole 129 miles? Maybe wait till 2008?

Thanks for all your thoughts!
