Description
The Dragon's Back is a tough climb. It starts at the bottom of the Serpent's Tail downhill and climbs abruptly. The first climb is shorter and not as steep so you can speed your way up it, but save some gas for the second steeper climb. After that, just settle in for a steady climb past the Dragon's Back to your right.
