FARGO STREET HILLCLIMB- MARCH 15, 2009
It's only one block long, but Fargo Street, with its 32% grade, equals the steepest street incline in Los Angeles. Our annual event challenges all comers to see if they can make it up on a bike, and if so, how many times in one day. Here are the 2009 results:
60 riders signed up, 46 riders completed the climb
Oldest Rider: Doug Kubler 64
Youngest Rider: Andrew Karnes 12
New woman's record: Rosalie Kneebone- 16 climbs
Most climbs: Doug Kubler- 30 climbs
(We were informed that Doug Kubler planned to do more climbs, but his chain broke on the 31st attempt.)
