Hope you'll post a pic of yourself wearing your 5-pass jersey when it arrives.

OMG another 5 pass finisher!! congratulation to malaholic!! knee problem and no solid food tough cookie!!

You don't want to do it again? It's a lovely ride with beautiful scenery!!

Wow - congrats on 5 passes on your first (and apparently only * ) attempt! Well done - and great report.

*after I first did all 5 passes I also swore never again, but then I just kept coming back over and over. Next year I think we'll be out of the country for part of July. Maybe the part that Death Ride falls in, but you can never be sure. There is something that makes me keep coming back to that ride, although, like you, I found the number of ambulances there this year extremely sobering.

Well...funny you should ask that. I'm already softening on the "never again" stance. I think one of these years if they have a better jersey design I could be persuaded to try again. I'm not a big fan of this year's design as compared to previous years. I like the older jerseys which have a big logo & text visible on the back; this one says "Death Ride" in really tiny text which will be completely covered by my hair.
