The fact that it's called a DEATH RIDE is a bit disconcerting.

I've heard it is a lot of fun, if you enjoy pure pain... once you get to Onyx summit at 8300 ft or so... the air get's a little too thin for me...
it is kinda like OCW's ride around the bear... check them out at http://www.ocw.org

Thanks Jeff. I'm thinking about going for the agony of it. Ride around the bear looks interesting.

Ride around the Bear looks like a pain-fest. Anyone here ever done it?

I haven;t... I know people who have... the concur.. a painfest... the club I used to ride a bit with BCI (Bike Club of Irvine) had special training days where these guys would go searching for the tallest, ugliest hills, and just do repeats on the until they fell over...
