Running The Steepest Street in Los Angeles

Tryed going up that street with a fedex truck when I worked for fedex. I couldn't wheels started spinning. I got scared, so backed down the hill.

@runningraw - I think I might finally attempt to run this soon, especially since I've been running a fair amount of late.......

The woman that you're with sounds sexy Tim!

Nope, Vista Ca has a short street, not long about 1/8 mile with more than 33% grade. Used to bike up it with a 10 speed in 5th gear and tried in 10th, no luck. But I had to usually zig zag my way up it. The car would slow down noticeably. This guy must be a puss. Like most of you liberal pussies. You work out, I simply work. And muscles form. Cause you fat assed fucking liberals are all little punk asses. Heheheheha. Yeah! I 'm hearin' the comments. Yeah, I just made it up, yeah, okay.SURE.

LA & other may claim to be steeper, but I think SF is the scariest b/c of high traffic and peds very challenge driving especially if a stick shift.

Micheltorena St. in the Silverlake area of LA is fairly steep....wonder what the grade there is.

I went up a very steep street in San Diego, but I can't remember where it is. It is up behind the Saw Dust Festival, and goes up to a ridge. I think it's steeper than Fargo. Anyone know the hill I'm talking about?

Try it on a unicycle! and it's 33% *grade*, not degrees.

Oh yeah the area went down hill big time. So you lived on gate street did you know someone by the name of lorena who lived on the same street.

@genx1973 LoL , yeah. ah Lincoln Heights.... what has become of it. I lived on Thomas St. 2 blocks south of Gates Street School from 1973 when I was 1 year old and lived there until 1998, when I moved out of state. The neighborhood has changed and not for the better. I missed the way it was when I was a kid in the 70's and early 80's before it rapidly deteriorated.
