The full course is not for the faint at heart! The course will be closed to traffic from Markleeville through all sections of climbing, with a turnaround point at Lake Alpine where participants will head back to the finish at Turtle Rock Park.<\/p>\n

Those who complete all of the climbs and return to the finish line within the event timeframe may purchase the sought-after Tour of the California Alps – Death Ride\u00ae Finisher’s Jersey. All athletes, their families, and spectators are encouraged to join us at the Turtle Rock Park finish line festival for food, photos, massage, camaraderie and visit our expo booths and sponsors.<\/p>\n

The event time limit ends at 6:30 pm, and all riders must be off the course by 6:30 pm. All cut-off times are strictly enforced. Segment cut-off times indicate the latest time that a rider will be allowed to begin each segment. Riders attempting to begin a segment after the cut-off time will not be allowed to proceed.<\/p>\n
