Wishing all of the "Death Ride" Riders happy tail winds!

And remember, between Altitude Camp and the ride itself, you have now done ALL of the Death Ride passes.

It sounds pretty darn impressive to me, Jobob! Congrats! I look forward to reading the whole report.

I'm looking forward to your report too, JoBob. Seems like you weren't the only one suffering up there. We had a guy who crashed the day before so he didn't get to ride at all. (He's in the hospital in Reno with a broken collarbone and 6 cracked ribs plus brain bleed). Congrats on all you did do. And all that prep work too.

I hear it was nasty hot most of the day- a woman I know from my town said she drank 8 bottles of Cytomax drink and at least 8 waters. Oh me oh my.

I had super admiration for anyone who even does 2 passes at the DR. You are a champ in my eyes.

AS for MP- she's famous even here in my home town. AND LOVED DEARLY by all whom she has coached! I hear this every time I ask someone about that great lady from TNT who coaches the Marin group!!!!

congratulation to MP and Jobob,

the ride can be super hot. Hot enough to melt the tire (being so much closer to sun) air is thin, sun is blazing hot in some years... Oui. Sounds like a year when everyone was reduced into raisin, dried out!!

MP, I don't know of too many who have participated in DR so many years in a row. whew!!! 7 or 8 years in a row of finishing all 5. superwoman if there ever was one.

On DR anything is possible. I've seen guys snap a chain, sucked up a derailure into the rear wheel, guy go over the edge coming down ebetts because of black ice... defeated by the scorching sun.

Good wonderful memories!!!
