maillotpois,

both are great causes and both are hard rides but Death Ride has 16,000 feet of climbing?

There's debate on ALC of how much climbing there is. The route changes, for some reason there's no "official" stat. But gear-heads on the ride with GPS etc I've heard anywhere from 24k - 27 sumthin'.

But that's over 7 days which has its own challenges of course. The back to back to back-ness of multi day rides is what's hard I think.

Both are great rides and great causes. Thanks for riding. Our cousin Marvin died waaay too young of Leukemia
