Here are two videos of my own effort on Fargo Street this year, the first taken on the bike and the second taken by my son, Jason: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6dS7Xrj4eA,

For those who just can't get enough Fargo Street, here is an excellent Sports Illustrated article about the 1977 climb. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1092031/index.htm

Coincidentally, 1977 was the first year that I was there; it was my first ride with the Wheelmen. I didn't attempt the climb that year, but came back with my brother Dave the following year and we both made the climb. We were hooked and have come back ever since.
