1991 - my 40th birthday celebration. Hard to believe I rode it with a 42/26…but I remember borrowing the cluster from a friend~ Whata might fine day! Huge confidence builder~ and confirmation that I was a climber…definitely NOT a descender😂

Meghan Dorris - 2015
I signed up to ride the death ride in 2015, the 35th anniversary (and my age that year) because I truly disliked climbing. Yes, you read that correctly. I go towards things I don’t like hoping by doing it more it changes for me.
I was new to the sport and told myself if I finished this event, I would move forward a better cyclist and reminding myself- if you avoid all challenges you never realize what you’re capable of.
I completed it in just over 12 hours! It was one long, but rewarding day, in the saddle and the biggest challenge I have done as a cyclist. Now, anytime I come across any challenge in life, I remind myself I can do anything because I finished the freakin’ Death Ride!! Unfortunately, I am still not a fan of climbing but at least I know what I am capable of!

I am sharing my buddy's Tung pix....his first DR. He is so busy he hardly had time to get ready aka trained for DR last year. I paced him almost to the top of the first Ebbetts Pass but lost him in the confusion and thought he quited...I jammed down to Alpine Lake but on my way back I saw him....to said he look tired is an understatement. I had a great climbed up the 5 Miles Backside of Ebbetts and sat there waited for Tung while cheering everyone coming up. Fearing I might not make the cut off time I left after almost an hour. Made it to TRP ,ate and now my team of 4 jumped in our vehicles to go collect Tung. We made the right turn out of TRP and within a few blocks ...we saw our team jersey worn of course by Tung. Inching his way up the last little incline ,Tung finished with the skin on his teeth. With slur speech..Tung embodied our Team Ethos... Team Turtle...We'll get there,when we get there. Lol
