Today Kevin and I set out on the annual Fargo Street Hill Climb. It was tough and I managed to climb it 15 times before calling it quits. I think I had 5 to 10 more climbs in me, but I needed to get home.

By 8:45 am, many riders started gathering around to take on Fargo Street. I'm guessing there were easily over 100 riders.

Below, these guys are deciding on how best to climb up. Most zigzagged up the hill. It was just to steep to ride straight up.

Zigzag, zigzag up and up Fargo Street. If you plan to do more than 3 climbs, its best to zigzag up.
