Maybe some more upbeat music - the cut you’ve used here is sleep-inducing - probably not the desired effect…

Do you have a strava link for the ride? Would love to do it someday!

Awesome adventure! Are you still riding?

Impressed that you do it every year. I rode it once in 2006 and made all 5 passes, but the crowds, the chaos, and the logistics of finding reasonably close lodging were not to my liking. Not sure if they still do, but back in 2006 the ride was so popular that the organizers needed to hold a lottery to pare down the number of riders to the max of I believe 3,000 riders. What that one ride did do however was introduce me to the great cycling in that area, and I have been back many times since then to ride on those great cycling roads, alone and without the crowds or the chaos. It's great that the organizers close Ebbetts and Monitor to car traffic, but my experience is that the traffic has been minimal and no issue whatsoever on my solitary rides.

Been thinking of getting into biking and I loved this video.

Fantastic! I love the video and all the beautiful stills you included, Terry. Thank you for posting that.

I've done the ride 4 times and finished all five passes three times, I can't imagine doing it 11 times! When did they drop Carson Pass from the route? Great video and pics of the ride! I guess 2023 was a banner year for snow, hence the green hillsides.

11 in a row!! Amazing I did it twice in the early 1990s and I cratered both times after the third pass. Great riding area. And going down hill in thin air is the fastest I've ever been on a bike. Nice history and background. I thought they changed the name a while back. Thanks

Thanks for capturing the ride and the historic and beautiful places along the way.

Well done, great video.

Thanks for this detailed coverage and the historical context of the area!! Well done!

Thanks for bringing back some memories. I rode the Death Ride one year. It was the best day of my life!!

Wow, Terry, what a great video! Thank you so much for sharing not only a bit about the ride but about the history and geography of the area as well. And, what a feat: being a Deathrider 11 years in a row! Congrats on another finish and I'll see you next year. Hopefully my voice won't be cracking. ;-) So appreciative...Mark

Excellent video, commentary & stunning pictures. Almost makes me want to do another death 😂.

Another great video, Terry. I love both the GoPro and still shots.

Looks like such a fun day!

Enjoyed this immensely. I have hiked those trails at Pt. Reyes. Would love to know your riding routes to Pt. Reyes from Davis.

Beautiful photography.

Great video, Terry. Not just a beautiful place, but extremely nice photography.

Do you have this ride posted on Strava?

Looks awesome! I grew up there, and have ridden every one of those trails countless times. I find it amusing to hear the vulture bit called the "descent." I've only ever ridden UP that. But always on a mountain bike. So I can forgive the mistake and the hiking. :-)

I wish I were with y’all. What a beautiful day y’all had.

well done Terry! thoroughly enjoyed it.

great video. Can you share a link to RideWithGps for those of us unfamiliar with the gravel options in that area? Thanks!

Excellent job, Terry! Your videos are extremely well done.

Nice job, as always, Terry. I remember when you took a few of us up and over Old Howell Mountain Road on a ride last year (I also remember thinking "But, wait. This road is closed! Are we going to get in trouble?"). It was a really cool stretch. I'm looking forward to doing it again sometime soon. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Terry - thanks for posting this. I've been traveling in Thailand (also small RUclipsr) for past 5 months but this route may help to motivate me to get back on bike on my return to Davis 😁 Subscribed to your channel - please feel free to reciprocate.

Here’s the Strava link: strava.app.link/QOiYs9n7kpb

Thanks for sharing. Looks like a nice route. I'll be in northern CA next week and may try it out. Would you mind posting the Strava or RWGPS route?

My favorite road ride, YEARS ago was: park at Lk Hennessy, then Chiles Pope valley Road, then Pope valley road, Left to Ink grade, up and over on White cottage road, then Deer Park down to Silverado trail, left on 128 and back to the car.

Funny. I thought Rich was taller ;). Great job, Terry!

Is Huffmaster Road a public road through to Leesville? It looks like it’s gated with a big hunting club sign… I wouldn’t wanna get arrested :-)

Awesome, Terry. Thanks for sharing!

Great video, Terry!

You are one hardcore dude, Terry!
