57 going on 25!

Hi all!

I'm a 57 years old "adventure Unicyclist". Been riding daily now since late 2005, and it has not only changed my life, but SAVED my life! When I'm not riding the rugged mountain trails here in SoCal, I'm tackling some of the steepest streets in the world, like this 30% grade whopper is Laguna Beach, CA:

Hi Terry, Welcome to the forum and hope you enjoy yourself.
You can get some hills like that in Yorkshire if you google it.
Plus with the weather we have just had over the last few months
it would have clipped your wings from cycling believe me.
We dont get Californian weather in Yorkshire.
Hope you enjoy your time on the roads and be careful.

Hello and welcome
I have some mountains behind me that 2 wheel cyclist ride and it makes me cringe for their safety...... Have you ever gone flat on your face ?

Hi Terry - welcome to the forum.

Your post made me think of a killer hill in the UK and I'm hoping some FMs will know it: I think it might be between Lynton and Lynmouth, lots of emergency run offs on it, it's seriously steep.

Is that Countisbury Hill, Karen? We have been up and down it a couple of times many years ago and well remember how frightening it could be.

Here's a video taken from a double decker bus going down the hill ..... it seems never ending!
