Breathless Agony has a climb on a dirt road, and people go through that section on their roadies, often with some really nice wheelsets and lightweight race tires. I'll be sparing my lightweight wheelset the torture and going with my backup wheelset (with lightweight race tires) that day, but with an appropriate choice of wheelset and tires, road bikes are pretty tolerant of a lot.
