julado Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Can any cyclist, present or past, claim to have rode up these hills? Yes, got up Blake Hill (which is officially the steepest) in seconds flat...... Thanks to a 550cc engine! Well you didn't actually say it couldn't be a MOTORcyclist I live near Langsett Avenue....(Opposite Middlewood Tram stop)....that is very steep too. I walk down it once with shopping.....lost my footing, had a nasty fall and retrieved all my tomatoes at the bottom off the hill....they were only fit for ratties to eat!!!! .......and I noticed this thread was started in 2003.....so is this the oldest thread in current use on the forum???????

In the 1960s, I knew a bloke called ' Tommy Thompson ' who lived on the right hand side of Langsett Ave. His house looked upon the Hospital where his wife worked as a sister. So I've climbed the Avenue on my cycle a number of times. Your escapade on the motorbike dun count!! I like to revive old threads because there is always a bit what someone wants to add.

Albert T Smith Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Any cyclist interested to join and find out, sometime next year. Which cyclist can climb the hill the fastest? This will require a few helpers also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
