Back to the steep hill thread... I've been up Sonora Pass. It is steep, but only really steep for a short amount of time. What hurts up there is the altitude (10K). But for length and steepness, Old Priest Grade, a bypass on Highway 120 in California, has got to top the list. (It is past Don Pedro and before Big Oak Flat & Groveland) I don't have the numbers but it is stout. Does anybody out there have the numbers on that hill? BTW, I once did a bike race (Golden Nugget) that went up that hill. I puked. ok, no flames please. Matthew 84 wolfsy (that does not like that hill)
