Jeeze! I remember those! There was another hillclimb in Duryea, Pennsylvania back then. That was pretty cool too.

BUT! For a real hillclimb, you have to go to Pike's Peak. Truly scary!

My best friend since high school prepped a bike for Pike's Peak and then dropped over dead just a short time before the event, three years ago. Another friend took the bike and ran it in David's memory, but he wasn't near the rider David was. Still, a nice gesture.
