Texas Street is not a hill; nor a mountain; It is a WALL. Especially, when reached at the end of a ride from Long Beach.

Many years ago I use to commute into the SF valley from Topanga. Topanga Canyon Blvd, Tuna Canyon Road and Stunt Road are definitely character builders. Broke many a gut out in them there hills. In those days, the real - NOT ME - road warriors climbed those hills with 42X16's.
