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

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!

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...

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.

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.

I don't think Decker Canyon is 20%.

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
