Yellow, tell us more about Slug Gulch. Every year, I tell myself I want to try Slug Gulch at the Sierra Century, and every year I bail out and do the bypass option.

Is it *really* 18% for one mile? Can you stop and restart? Are there any brief respites where it's not so steep? What gearing do you use?

And Snow's Road? Never heard of it. Is it even worse?
