Cheese Rolling



Every year on Cooper's Hill in Gloucester, England people compete for cheese. Apparently this has been going on since the 1800's? They chase the 8lb wheel of cheese down a super steep hill, the hill is so steep most people can not stay on their feet. It is so dangerous multiple ambulances are always on hand; today 19 people were taken to the hospital injured after falling for cheese. The next competition is May 25th 2009; is there any chance a certain exemplary Wine & Cheese boutique would consider sponsoring a roller? If so I would like to nominate Tyler; he likes to travel and has been looking for a reason to get in shape. I think this could be just the type of event he could really get inspiration and train for.

Here is the hill....


Here is a view from the top of the hill...

Being vertical is hip. I would like to hangglide from the top of this hill like a mug.

I would also like to be chased down this hill by the bulls of pamplona. That would combine (2) things I need to do before I die in one day.
