The L.A. Wheelmen used to include a hill challenge in some of their rides.
The grade was so severe that very few made it up the hill. There were some
very amusing contraptions, the most common being a small front wheel so
that the riding position was closer to normal. I think it was somewhere
in Venice, California. I know that this isn't really an extended grade, but
there must be other killer hills out there.
