Looking for a Long steep street ?

Question

interested in doing some X-treme down hill big wheel races. I'm looking for a street such as S.F. CA lombard st. my area code is 20817 something within about a hour drive. STEEP AND WINDING, but preferably neighborhood streets. I know of a good one QUEBEC ST off N Quincy st in arlington va, but it is only about 1/4 downhill then back up hill strait. The good thing about it is that its almost never used its in the back of the neighborhood and you don't have to slow down because you just go back uphill to slow down. I went about 48 on my bike down it as a kid.

Answer 1

In colorado I did do 53 and is was scary fast. At that speed and on those tires it takes a mile to stop safely....not smart in a neighborhood. maybe you should find a sport that has what you need and wont kill you.

finding the biggest hill in a residential area and going as fast as you can is not a sport. maybe you need to go to six flags or jump out of an airplane. how about rock climbing...all safer.

Answer 2

Going fast in a residential neighborhood is just asking for big-time injuries.
