Feel my legs, I’m a glutton for punishment
Lots of stuff happening this weekend, but among other things, I plan on doing the third annual “Feel my legs, I’m a racer” race on Saturday. Yeah, there’s the Tour of California happening this week, with the sixth stage ending up in Santa Clarita, but who cares when the real fun is a couple of miles from home. This is a gruesome, vomit-inducing, leg-incinerating marathon of hill climbing where racers try to be the first up ten of the steepest hills around Los Angeles.
I didn’t do this last year, though I did do the Fargo Street Hill Climb, which has a 33% grade. I managed to get up that 1.5 times (.5 because my first attempt ended in failure). That destroyed me, and Fargo is only one of the ten stages of this race.

i saw you on the way to fargo street! hope you made it all the way up, that shit is steep!
I wanted to say “Hi!” but we were getting ready to start that hill.
Dang! I was tempted to go but I wasn’t feeling 100 percent. We watched you guys go down Baxter and up Fargo from my front door, though.
