Double Century rides of 2016

California Triple Crown

What is the California Triple Crown?

The purpose of the California Triple Crown is not only to encourage individuals to participate in these Double Centuries but, more importantly, to recognize the individuals' accomplishments. Riding a Double Century requires a lot of training and mental determination so this series of challenging events provides many positive benefits.

We have contacted various cycling publications in an effort to have them publish articles about this series. In our discussions with these publications, we have indicated our desire to have follow-up articles published which would, among other things, include a list of the individuals' names that completed the California Triple Crown series.

Death Ride 2016

DEATH RIDE 2016

This one is off the bucket list. The ride got so dangerous with those whipping winds on Ebbets Pass and Carson Pass but I was able to finish the ride safely and within the alloted time. Time to set my sight to another challenge.
