Scenes from the “Death Ride Tour of the California Alps” an endurance bike event with 14,000’ of climbing over 3 mountain summits. Here’s the turnaround at SR-89 coming down from Monitor Pass. Wait for a shot of Topaz Lake at the end. #deathride | Adventures With Jeff Martinez

The Death Ride 2024 Tour of the California Alps that includes 14,000' of climbing up and down Ebbetts and Monitor passes covering 103 miles from Markleeville, CA. The endurance challenge happened last weekend and the event has been going on for more than 40 years. Fun to watch riders coming down highway 89 and make the turnaround near Topaz Lake, and they close the road for the event. Nice meeting you all out there!
