It is called the "Death Road" because on average over 150 people a year die on this road. The descent is 3800 meters and is 64 km long. It is about 600 meters or 2000 feet fall if you go off the road at almost any point. They also did not tell us that we had to ride on the outside edge due to traffic until we got there. Almost entire trip is downhill and it seems as though you are continuously braking. I had two minor crashes but nothing serious. It had been about 25 years since my last bike ride. One of the riders behind me did slide off the edge of the road but another guy and I pulled him up. Quite an exhilarating experience.
