Anyone who rides their bike around the Carbondale area, has heard of or rode the Smiley face hill in Makanda. For some friendly compeition, I started this blog to log everyone's fastest times up the hill. I will post all results that are emailed to me. This is all on the honor system, but if someone sends in a crazy fast time, they may be asked to go prove that they can climb the hill in the time they sent in. (I will have to find someone fast to keep up with you, but that shouldn't be a problem -- I know some fast people) They won't have to ride it in the exact time, but will have to get close enough that the posted time is believable.
The rules:
1. Start the clock when you pass (rolling starts are ok) the GREEN (US 51 2 miles) road sign at the bottom.
2. Stop the clock when you reach the GREEN (Anna/Carbondale) road sign at the top.
3. Submit your results by clicking the link to the right.
Be sure to include your name, time and date of your ride. I'll maintain a running list of everybody who completes the official route and sends me their time. Each year I'll start a new list and archive the old. As you get faster over the course of the season be sure to send me updated times and I'll adjust your placing based on the new information. Remember to always include your name, time and the date of your ride.
