Just curious, what are some of your guys longest coasts?

I realized this the other day when my part of trip that goes into Cumberland I'm in neutral for 6 or 7 miles (I'll get an exact reading)

The terrain rises and falls, but overall it is a huge (11% grade) drop from the Eastern Continental Divide down into Cumberland itself. Half the time I put the car in gear just to keep control of the speed.
