This is the classic combination of passes that made Alta Alpina territory famous around the world. These are the passes on the bucket lists of so many riders. You climb Carson Pass in the morning when the temperature is cooler, the wind is gentle, and the traffic is light.
You can choose a start window of 6:30am, 6:45am, 7:00am, 7:15am, 7:30am, 7:45am, or 8:00am. The course is open until 8:30pm for a total of 14 hours. Each rest stop has opening and closing times that must be respected and volunteers will strictly enforce cut-off times intended to keep everyone safe.
There is an exclusive 5 Pass Finisher Jersey for purchase by those who ride their bicycle over the full 5 Pass Challenge route within the time limits.
