I live in Berkeley. Would love to crush it down Bancroft just has he did in 2005. Any takers?

Down. Also live in Berkeley
This is a good idea. Someone needs to make this happen. I would so be down if I lived nearby.
When do you want to do it? December 10th? 1 am?
I'm sure we could get plenty of Cal alumni to come out for it. I think it'd be a great way to honor DT. Let's do it!
Dec 10th would give some time. Bancroft is busy. Gotta do it at night I'd imagine.
Doing it any other way is isnt blue collar enough I'd imagine.
10th is a Sunday. 9th is a Saturday. Probably easier to get the working stiffs out then.
+1000
Make it happen guys!
+2000
What a good way to commemorate the great runner.
Sounds pretty sweet. Guessing the video quality will be a little higher than in 2005!
Good idea.
But spell David Torrence's name right if you really want to honor him.

My mistake.
I will show up nearly any weekend at 1am this fall. Let's decide on something. We could do dec 9th, near the classic date.
Shouldn't be hard to steamroll across Oxford and Shattuck that late at night, even with increased traffic.
As a UC-Berkeley grad and a big fan of the downhill mile thread as it played out, I hope this happens. RIP David Torrence.
David Torrence downhill mile this Friday, 9/1. 10pm. Top of Bancroft Way, in front of the International house in Berkeley. Informal, fast if you want, but I will be taking my time.

OK. Strike while the iron is hot.
Let's do it
Ummm...Cal athletes, coaches and alums only.

all DT fans are welcome.
Do the night of the 3rd and you may get people staying in the area after CIM interested.

All are welcome. Do not show up if you plan to be a gatekeeper to this great sport.

Yeah, because so many people will want to drive to Berkeley then blast a downhill mile a few hours after a marathon.
Wow, you really are awful. No wonder our sport has been declining steadily over the years with attitudes like yours. DT would certainly not want attitudes like this associated with the sport. Go crawl back under your rock.
