Dreaded Hill Climb 2005 - Sat April 2

Im doen the dreaded hill race. Does ne1 hav ne tips on modifing urbikie for the climb.

 

I'd suggest taking off everything you don't need....

like brakes :lol:

you want to drag as little weight as is possible up the hill.

 

Hmm . . . so is this pretty accurate as to what happens? :?:

 

im so pissed off, i might of justbrokoe my arm and my mom prolly wont let me ride.

 

Roll Call

So who's going to be there tomorrow?
What category are you riding?
and will you be sporting your socaltrailriders.org decals?

Just Curious :-k

 

I'm riding tomorrow in the 29 and under category, I don't have a decal. depending on how my arm is....

 

Hoping to ride tomorrow since I can't make it Sunday. Haven't ridden Whiting yet, maybe I'll swing by and check out the contest--as a spectator only!

Been sportin' the new decal for a few days now...on my bike, of course. Looks good!

 

I will ride in the 200 lb and up. Maxwell and I are easy to spot, we have the 35lb coilers and the green Giro Xen helmets.

Just like to see the weight weenies looking at us like we're some king of monsters...

One day, climing up Modjeska grade road, one of them told me: "F$@% that's a bike tire" I replied: " My wife calls it love handles"

The guy almost fell off his bike laughing

 

Dreaded hill ws awsome today. IT was alittle hot and the trail coud hav used some work but that didnt ruin the fun. I recieved 2nd in the 29 and under. I would like to say GOOD JOB TO EVERY BODY WHO PARTICAPATED.

 

What was your time?

 

OC rider did great. With a wounded wrist and all. It was nice to meet you.

I almost did 2nd in the 200+ but a third guy registered... :lol:
It was hard but I had a great time.

 

I had a great time again.

Didn’t stick around for my place or time so I'll have to wait for the results to be posted.

Rode the SS again and felt a little better than last year, but this hill is still my nemesis on a SS. Have cleaned it many times with gears, but have yet to clean it on my SS (although I only actually tried twice).

Cleaned the first hill with ease, and made it 3/4 the way up the second hill before stopping for a 30 second rest to get the hr back down. Started again and had a pretty easy spin until the third climb after the sharp left turn.

Blew up after about 10 yards; and after 5 or 6 unsuccessful re-start attempt I relegated to walk the 50 yard hill (which officially disqualified me); although I didn't really mind.

Took another 1 minute rest at the top of the hill, and then re-mounted the bike for a comfortable finish.

It was a great event again, and I am looking forward to next year.

 

I'm set on doing this next year....

sounds like lots of fun.

great job OC rider :clap: !

 

It wasn't a long ride but this afternoon, I was more tired than if I did a 20 miles epic ride. Feels good to get a challenge like that, to get out of your comfort zone.

 

sounds like the climb was intense.. good job to all ya who competed.

I couldnt make it because I had a swim meet.

But im wondering which hill at Whiting Ranch is the "Dreaded Hill"

Is it the hill if start from 4 Corners and go down past the Cactus cut off or do climb up from 4 Corners and then that hill that descends down.



If anyone wants to race me climbing the hill I'm totally down for that. I rode Mathis at Aliso Wildnerness the other day in middle ring!!

 

i was there but didnt race some pro guy did it like 8 min

 

I rode Alp d'huez no hands
8)

 

:lol:

 

does anyone know if they posted the scores yet??
