Please get the damn firewood away from the house,I can hear the carpenter ants munching on the 2x4,s in the crapper wall.

It's been there for 8 years. No carpenter ants. We have an exterminator here twice annually too. He keeps an eye on it.

Hey pcad...isn't it nice that everyone cares so much about you? I can feel the love. :p

Don't get me all excited B. I'm actually trying to work today.

Hill looks tame.
Area looks like Oregon.
I question all validity.

Thank you for calling me out.

What I should have said is more than a mile. Here are only a few that come to mind. What you have to keep in mind is we (SoCal) don't really have bad weather here. So road engineers and city planners don't have to worry about snow or torrential rainstorms and other weather concerns that would make the roads impassable. So they pave roads going to nowhere (dead end climbs we call them) such as water towers, avocado groves and the like.

Los Gatos in Temecula
Decker Rd in Malibu
Balcolm Canyon (don't know what city it's on one of my doubles and the pros do it on ToC)

There are others that are 20% avg over a mile. I have been on them just can't remember their names. And to be honest with you anything over 15% might as well be 20% it's just freakin' hard!:roflmao2:

You didn't realize that pcad is just one of my sock puppets? I sometimes get confused so I wind up claiming to be a Fred baiting Road Nazi while posting photos clearly identifying me as a a gray bearded bent riding hippie...

mattm 09-25-08 02:40 PM

wow, 5 pages for a tiny hill and a big house.

you go, pcad.

You forgot the dog crap. That's the best part.

gsteinb 09-25-08 02:41 PM

Just imagine if he ever became out title sponsor. BF would be all PCad all the time...which wouldn't really be all that different I guess.

But 2 1/2 pages of it are pcad's own...own....whatever...;)

Smallest house in the neighborhood. I keep telling my next door neighbor when he puts in the in-ground pool his guests will think our house is the friggin cabana.

Still, I do have the Ducati of Boilers. So F all of them and their stupid BMWs. Materialist aholes.

God I wish I were as rich as they are.

Yes, I suppose 116 posts about my stupid hill is rather amazing. But that's the strength of the Pcad brand. Now if I could only figure out a way to milk that for some cashish, I'd have something.

I heard Ivan became a bike messenger to make money in between UCI racing gigs.

You should really take advantage of your BF fame, perhaps design a "Friends of PCad" jersey. Extra cash for your riding funds can't hurt.

Is that in the same bathroom with the 1960's wallpaper and matching shower curtain ??You have a shower curtain around your jacuzzi tub ??

That's my job. To get you all excited.

markwebb 09-25-08 02:57 PM

I don't think Decker Canyon is 20%.

Old Mountain Road off 9W in Grandview is at least 20%. Try it sometime. Bring a winch.

Scratchup still feels crappy on a bad day. Of course I don't have to chase guys like Gary up Old Mountain Road.

Does it go further up than 9W (going West from Broadway) It's really 20% though?

His public profile lists 9 friends. It would be cheaper and easier to buy a domain name like pcadforums.net and have it point here
