Dave Wyman, who rode the Solvang Century (100 mile ride) yesterday, was on his second run up the hill this morning when he was forced to halt his progress and go down the hill to avoid another rider (see the "previous" photo). Amazingly, Dave was able to turn his bike around, keep his balance, avoid getting caught up in the curb and go back up the hill. To my knowledge, no one else has ever been able to do this. Others who have found themselves in similar situations have tried, but once they headed down hill, they were unable to turn around and come back up. It takes great balance, concentration and power to accomplish this feat on such an incredibly steep, narrow street.

The next photo shows Dave powering up the hill to the summit.
