I'm checking off the 2017 Death Ride bucket list items this week for sure!
The 2004 Porsche Bike X rebuild was finished a couple days ago.
This morning I registered, immediately when the registration opened, for the 2017 Death Ride on July 8.
I also reserved a hotel room a couple miles from the start/finish of the Death Ride.
I'm all set. Now it's time to get serious with the training. I have the bike, hotel room and registration, now I have to get the body ready for the 129 miles of uphill torture!
Follow my continuing passion to explore new adventures on Porsche bicycles. I have conquered a Century ride with a Porsche mountain bike, the Death Ride on a Porsche touring bike, the 184.5-mile Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Towpath in 2020, the 370-mile combined C&O/GAP trail in 2021 and the 237-mile Florida Coast to Coast ride in 2022. And just completed the Maryland and California Coast & Coast Porsche road bike adventure!
