Death Ride Training Series by Alta Alpina Cycling Club

ALTA ALPINA CHALLENGE TRAINING SERIES

In partnership with Alta Alpina Cycling Club (AACC), we offer the Death Ride® Training Series to help you prepare for the big event on July 13th! Whether it’s your first time tackling the Death Ride passes and you want to be ready to complete the whole course, or you’re a veteran looking to ride your best time this year, the Training Series is designed to help you ride at your peak.

Choose from 1 to 4 rides on four dates beginning May 4th, and then every 2 weeks thereafter on May 18th, June 1st, and June 18th.

Each ride is supported by AACC members and tackles different Sierra mountain passes to develop to develop familiarity with the area and skills to be at your best for the Death Ride. Coaching materials are provided regularly to help you make the most of your training.

The Brush with Death ride on June 29 adds a final training opportunity two weeks after the training series and two weeks before the Death Ride.
