Alta Alpina Challenge: Riding the Wild Sierra
I am happy to announce 
that registration is now open for the Alta Alpina Challenge: Riding the Wild Sierra presented by the Alta Alpina Cycling Club .
Date: June 13 Start Location: Turtle Rock Park, Markleeville CA
The Alta Alpina Wild Sierra is actually 3 events on one day in Alpine County California and Carson Valley Nevada.
The 8 Pass Challenge is a California Triple Crown ride and just may be the "Worlds Toughest Double Century" at 198 miles and 20,300 ft of climbing including the famous summits such as Kingsbury, Carson, Luther, Blue Lakes, Monitor and Ebbetts.
The Build Your Own Challenge allows you to be "As Wild as You Dare" by choosing to ride 1-6 passes, 30-160 miles. It is possible to do a 5 pass ride similar to the Death Ride without having to ride up Hwy 88 to Carson Pass!
The Kid Carson Challenge is 7 to 29 miles of "Fun in the Foothills" for families and kids.
There is something for just about every rider!
We have had a big response already and are processing the registrations for those who reserved a spot earlier. We are limited to 900 riders the first year. This ride will fill.
If you are not familiar with this area but I suspect most of you NorCals are, I regularly post pics on my blog of our local rides Here.
I'll do my best to answer any questions!
