That sounds brutal. I rode up Sequatchie Mountain in the Hincapie Fondo a couple years ago, and that was one of the steepest short climbs I have done. I was having a bad day and had to stop in the middle. I cannot fathom what the steepest paved mile in NA would be like.


It's called Lincoln Gap near Warren Vermont. It's the most sadistic 1.2 miles I've ever ridden. Averages anywhere from 18-20 % depending on your elevation source. The 8-10% sections are where you "recover". Of the 8 or so times I've done it, I've twice had to stop and walk the last bit.

I just stumbled on this video of someone hitting 43 mph while sledding down it
