Ebbetts Pass and Monitor Pass will be closed Saturday. Not sure how the bicycle lobby got strong enough to close highways but they are. Death Ride Website.
We camped on Monitor Pass one weekend during this event. Yes, driving there Friday afternoon was frustrating because of all the traffic generated by the event. But Saturday we walked from our campsite out to the road and watched the riders gasping for air as they rode by. Kind of fun in a twisted way. Should have been sitting in a lounge chair with a cooler of beer. That would have even been better.craig333 said:I've been up there the day before the ride. I wouldn't want to be there during the ride.

Nah. If I set it up the "aid station" would be serving BBQ'd lamb and Plinys. We probably wouldn't be invited back.ski3pin said:
