I see photos my old house at the very top of Baxter in the linked photos. Does this have anything to do with Fargo St hill climb or is this another ride? So what's happening on the 23rd?

If I lose 20 lbs I think I'll be able to climb Baxter or Fargo.

Feel My Legs, I'm a Racer (3rd annual)

10 hills, 10 stages, 1 morning

A race for some, an epic adventure for others.

It is a tour of some of the less-traveled streets in Los Angeles, from downtown to Silver Lake and beyond.

There is no entry fee and limited support. No car support please, spectators welcome on bicycles (you won't have to ride all the hills).

Just riding up any one of these hills is an accomplishment. 10 in one day is seriously hard (Fargo is merely one). Be prepared!

Last year's report: nowhip.blogspot.com/2007/02/feel-my-legs-im-racer-2007.html

GPS data from last year (route may change!)

Meet at Sunset Blvd and EdgeCliffe Dr. (Silver Lake Farmers Market)

Sign-up at 845am, leave at 915 (!!)

Sat Feb 23

A Swarm! event.

Tell others.

I don't think they'd be winning many bike races.

Not according to my singlespeed it's not. I could ride straight up it but on Fargo I had to switchback right away.
