Nope not me, Today.
That’s a tough hill in the winter as the snow gets pushed to the side. Last few years I avoided riding up there and instead took a side street to avoid conflict. In all my years of winter riding I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve had to walk that hill (the west side where there’s a path) - it’s skill, luck, finesse and fitness when it’s slick.
