Gotta love the name. I dunno if it's true, but I heard that years ago, the Markleeville Death Ride used to be called the "Alpine Challenge." They got a couple of dozen riders or so. After renaming it the "Death Ride," they got hundreds.
"Hotter than Hell Hundred"
"Mountains of Misery"
"Deathride"
"Breathless Agony"
What is it about us that makes us flock to misery like moths to the flame? lol
Good point.
I'm thinking of good names for cycling events. I may copyright them and sell them.
"Hemorrhoidal Hundred"
"Kick in the Balls 100K"
"Kidney stone Challenge"
"Stroke or MI? Extravaganza"
"Nifty Near-death Fifty"
I believe these would sell out on the strength of their names alone.
