Alta Alpina 8 Pass Challenge

8 Pass Challenge

"The World's Toughest Double Century"

June 11, 2011

  • 20300 feet of climbing over 198 miles
  • The most scenic double century ever on the best pavement
  • Start/Finish at Turtle Rock Park
  • Eight Passes on the course:
    • Kingsbury Grade aka Daggett Pass (East)
    • Luther Pass (South)
    • Carson Pass (East)
    • Blue Lakes Road
    • Ebbetts (East)
    • Ebbetts (West)
    • Monitor (West)
    • Monitor (East)
The course features nine fully stocked rest stops, two checkpoints with water, and lunch and dinner at Turtle Rock Park.
There will be a bag drop to the top of monitor for lights and warm clothing (both required after 8:58pm). You can bag your items at the start or when you get to the top of Kingsbury.
Each rest stop has opening and closing times that must be respected and checkpoints will strictly enforce cut-off times intended to keep everyone safe.
This is the ultimate one day challenge and is for riders physically and mentally prepared for this adventure.
An exclusive 8 Pass Finisher Jersey will be available for purchase to those who complete all eight passes.
