  • My original plan was to document the 2021 Death Ride. However, plans quickly changed as the Tamarack fire was just 4 miles from the parking lot. Organizers and emergency personnel had to cancel the event and order an emergency evacuation. What started as small fire quickly raged into a 6000+ acre fire overnight.

    If the wind is blowing the smoke in your direction, the fire is coming too.

      Absolutely Joesph! I don’t think people realise that the fire can kill you before it reaches you. A fire that large you’re not safe in any location that the fire is headed for. Especially with pine trees.

      @@xtc996 it’s not a race with awards and podium at the finish. If you finish within the allotted cut off time, you can then purchase a jersey. Many wanna be “racers” act like it’s a race, but those of us who actually race know it’s just a ride that you can pay to do.

      It's NOT a race. They run a cycling tour through several mountain pass climbs each year. Coolest thing is that the passes are closed to motor vehicle traffic for the event.

    What is the saddest thing here? Getting a spot for the Death Ride is a real bitch. Sign up dates are tough to catch, as it's a race to get your entry. Thus is the actual racing part of the event. Waiting lists.
    Cycling 22000km per year a while back, I tried for a spot three times. No joy.
    It would have been fun.
    So, with this in mind...i understand the tragedy of having to close the event.
    By the way, that parking lot was not a good "defensible space". Former brush monkey here, helitack. Sorry to hear of another cancellation, man.
    My heart goes out to you, and best wishes for my brothers on the fireline.
    I'm also a cyclist, a randonneur. Consolation prize, unload the bike today and get some!
    You can guess what's a favorite training pastime for brush monkeys. Yes. Your knees take a real beating playing billygoat. Cycling is the best therapy. Subscribed too. 🚲

    It’s NOT a race! It’s a ride that you pay to participate in. There are no UCI points awarded. There’s no podium, no trophies. It’s a really hard ride, but it’s not a race.
