Carpooling and Ride-Sharing to and from Death Valley; Hotel Room Sharing, Too

We encourage carpooling to and from our Spring and Fall Death Valley Century and Double Century events, as well as to and from all our other events, such as the Badwater Ultramarathon and Furnace Creek 508. For Spring and Fall Death Valley, with some 300 riders coming from 20 or more states (and a few foreign countries), there must be somebody who lives near you, or along the route you'll be driving, or perhaps someone just needs a ride to and from the airport in Vegas or LA if they are flying to the event. Share the ride! Save gas! Save money! Save the earth!


Please use this section of the blog to connect with other riders - you can save money, save gas, help to protect the environment, and - hopefully - meet some cool people, too! (You can also use this page to find potential roommates for CORPScamp Death Valley, the Spring Century & Double Century, or the Fall Century & Double Century.)

(Note: We are provide a service here, allowing people to meet and share rides. We can't and don't guarantee anything about the people you'll meet, so be careful and use your best judgement. Review the Personal Safety Tips that Craigslist uses on their Rideshare page here.)

Click the "Comments" button below and leave your request for a ride, or offer to share your trip!

I just found this web site and the race (via the Bicycling Magazine) and I plan to sign up for the DV Spring ride in March. I live in Illinois and will ship my bkie to Las Vegas. Will anyone be doing the same, or going through there that may be able to transport my bike to Furnace Creek. We will have a jeep once we get to Vegas, but no rack or anything for the bike. Any other ideas?

Kari: If you can handle assembly of the bike yourself, I'd just ship it to the Furnace Creek Ranch. Otherwise, you should be able to put a bike or two in your Jeep. (I can carry three bikes, no problem, with the wheels off, in my small Saturn two-door: two on the back seat and one in the trunk. - Chris

Kari, I live in IL, too, however I will be arriving in Vegas by way of Phoenix. I'll give you a call to see what your arrival and departure times are. I'm interested in sharing a room with another woman. Don't know if you have a roommate or might be looking for one.
