It's a glorious day in Austin today. 65 degrees and sunny.

That's Eldred Street in Highland Park, Los Angeles. By some measures it's the steepest residential street in the world. The event is Feel My Legs I'm a Racer and Eldred is the last of 10 grades/climbs, which are tackled individually. 4 of the climbs are on the steepest streets in Los Angeles.

Here's a good video of what a 35% grade looks like:

Silver lining indeed. The frame was a tad small for me to begin with, but like you I will miss riding my Atlanta. Fortunately I have another steel ride that'll keep me going in the meantime.

Always thought Feel My Legs was an offshoot of the LA Wheelmen Fargo climb which has been going on for years but it appears Mr. Chew was the inspiration.

For the second year in a row I woke up the morning of this event not knowing if 10 or 100 people were going to show up. Feel My Legs, Iā€™m a Racer is a Swarm! event based on Danny Chewā€™s Dirty Dozen race. I found the ten most brutal hills in LA; the group rides together to each hill and then ā€˜racesā€™ to the top. We regroup, ride to the next hill and do it again. There is a point system to declare the fastest of the day, but for most people just getting up all of these in one day is a huge feat. Hell, the LA Wheelmen make a huge deal out of the their ride up Fargo St. (notice Swarmers! Brian and Alec doing it on a tall bike!) and on Feel My Legs itā€™s only one of tenā€¦Check out the GPS data of the ride. Almost 3000 feet of climbing in less than 20 miles.

LA transplants are so weird.
