No-Key HillClimb:
Week X - Old La Honda Road (E) ; 06 Dec 1997

Results

Overview

The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say. JRR Tolkein

Green Eggs and Old La Honda
(ode to Mark Anderson)


Not on a switchback
Not with a heart attack
Not on a hot day
Not with a breakaway
It will not beat you here or there.
It will not beat you anywhere.
