Maxwell and I went out to check out the climb. I think he's going to do it. It is a steep ass climb and it is also starting to get over grown. Just stay right!

bighit8 · 03-06-2008, 10:11 PM

looks like Ouch!

Red Hot Sloth · 03-06-2008, 10:22 PM

Oh man...what did I get myself into?!
Well, I'm due...I haven't had a good puke in a long while

tbowren · 03-06-2008, 11:03 PM

Where is Poles?
That trail looks like a lot of fun in the opposite direction.

EDIT: Forget it, I found the other thread that explains everything.

maxwell · 03-07-2008, 08:30 AM

Poles was a bit nasty, but I think Dreaded Hill is a bit harder. Dreaded Hill is definitly longer.

It was my first time up this bad boy yesterday, and it didn't disapoint. I didn't clean it, but I'm 99% sure that I can.

Here's some more pics to go along with Pat's;

Looking up from the road leading in....

Ah, the start. That dosen't look THAT bad....

Halfway point, looking down at Pat.

This is about halfway up. Look's steep. It is!

CPATPEDALSTEEPSH!T

He's a bit sideways, but still going.

Aaarrrrrggghhh!

Finally at the top.

And last but not least, a pretty good shot of the Poles trail from up on "I Think I Can".

I'll be doing it again next Wenesday morning after work. This time I'm gonna bring the Stinky, and give it a shot on it.

Darin - you racing this weekend, or competing out here instead?

northshore · 03-07-2008, 08:33 AM

I'll be at Fontucky tomorrow morning.
The Poles climb isn't until the end of the month, and i'm at a "maybe-almost 99% yes" for the Poles Climb.

hoovermd · 03-07-2008, 08:54 AM

We all want to know

Red Hot Sloth · 03-07-2008, 09:02 AM

Oh Betty!!!
How am I going to get my fat arse up that?!

G-Ride · 03-07-2008, 09:17 AM

It's been too long since I've been to El Moro. Nice pics.

tbowren · 03-07-2008, 09:51 AM

Cpat,
I think I can spy a Garmin on your stem.
What are the distance and elevation stats for that climb?

Oh, you probalbly want to know how long it took us to go up? Not sure........

I'm slow, so maybe somewhere between 5-10 minutes.

G-Ride · 03-07-2008, 11:19 AM

They should rename this trail "I Don't Think I Can"

Yes it was the 5-10 min number

JOx2 · 03-07-2008, 03:49 PM

i can feel it already, my legs are burning in pain.

just by looking at those picture.

On this steep a$$ climb, do you make changes to your bike to make it set up just for climbs?

I just have the info for the full ride. I didn't even think about doing it just for the climb.

Now I will have to go and do it again.

Wow! I just about shot beer out my nose and fell off my chair laughing. I'm not doing THAT climb again anytime soon!

Nope. Just the regular 22 X 34 with the 29er wheels.

Red Hot Sloth · 03-07-2008, 05:03 PM

I'm tryin' not to chicken out, but all this talk of burning legs, puke, the dreaded lung puke....
I'm starting to hyperventilate already....
I'm gonna do it, I will have my last will and testament at the base of poles...Foo gets all my boxed up and collected toenail clippings from the past 38 years, Seat Sniffer gets all my old stinky seats, and dooder can have my 27 mangy cats...

Puhlease..sandbagger!

That looks like fun but I can barely make it up that Hell Hill at the back of Fontucky so I doubt I'd clear that....of course its something to shoot for.
