This Sunday, March 14 the Los Angeles Wheelmen will be hosting their several-ish annual Fargo Street Hill Climb. Legend has it that Fargo Street in Echo Park is the steepest street in L.A. with a 32% incline. For many years now the Los Angeles Wheelmen have been challenging riders to see how many times they can ride up it in one day. The record is held by Steve Gilmore who in 2008 rode up it 101 times! Starting time is 9:00 am and the starting location is the intersection of Fargo St. and Alejandro St. (near the south end of the Glendale Freeway).
I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s both equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is something which too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy I found this in my search for something relating to this.
