Checkout these 480 Photos from Damnation Alley by Steve Rider Checkout these Photos by Eric Smith at Red Bike Photo Checkout these 39 Photos from Damnation Alley and the Angelus Oaks Rest Stop by Chuck Bramwell Damnation Alley is where the ride really heats up. The climb is relentless with no end in sight. It goes on and on. Oftentimes, there are thermonuclear meltdowns on this section of road. How hard is this climb? It's 11 Miles with 3,015 Feet of Climbing!!. This year the riders were greeted by a COLD ARCTIC CHILL which made the climb outstanding because usually it is EXTREMELY HOT on this section of the course. Many riders have been toasted along this leg of the course. How cold was it? Freezing cold: At 11:00 A.M., it was 49 Degrees at Rest Stop 2. At 11:15 A.M., it was 50 Degrees at the turn to Forest Falls. At 11:20 A.M., it was 44 Degrees at Rest Stop 3 in Angelus Oaks. For those descending after Angelus Oaks for a 3 Pass Finish, they were mighty glad to have all of the cold weather gear that they brought!! Rest Stop 3 was made possible thanks to the hard work of Cindy Rayburn, Saskia Knight, Judy Baker, Amelia Knight, Clark Dicus, and Kirby Brown who can be seen at the end of Chuck's photos above. Thanks so much for helping us out!! Thanks also to Pete and Shelly Smith who drove up and down Damnation Alley providing roving SAG Support and taking photos all day. Their photos will be coming soon also. And a big thanks to Eric Smith, Lynn Katano, and Steve Rider for taking such OUTSTANDING photos all day long and doing SAG Support as well!! |
