General Info: This hill is absolutely epic and is well worth the drive. It's over a mile of downhill with plenty of runout at the end and in the middle to keep your speed under control. Some of the drivers on this road are dicks, but as long as you're cruising, over 30mph, you should be ok.

hey if anyone has a truck or van or big vehicle bring it please! the last meet was pretty cramped haha

haha no joke. for those of you that are wary of the drive all the way out there, you will NOT find a better or longer downhill in the twin cities metro. dont miss it

I can drive my parents truck this weekend (F-150 SuperCrew with topper). It seats 6 plus as many as we can get in back. It would be cool if people chipped in a few bucks because I have to pay for gas*

*50 miles to and from Afton, over 2 miles to go up and down the hill, getting 15mpg, gas @ $3.60

V Dubin · 08-08-2008, 01:18 AM

Well, #5 was my first MNLBC meet and i was NOT disappointed. Anyone who hasnt hit this hill needs to do so, it's REALLY GOOD. Special thanx to erics girlfriend for giving us rides back up the hill (sry bad with names). Here are a few pics from the meet. Hoping to make it to the parking garage meet tonight but it looks grim
