Credit for this route goes to John Z. 
June 28, 2022: NB: Erosion on the Awosting Portal is deepening, making climbing a bit more difficult, but the descent in places is now in the technical realm.

You don't have to be an A or upper level B rider to do this iconic Berkshire ride. Take the shorter (55 miles), somewhat easier version of this gorgeous route. Yes, there's one really steep climb, but it's short and there's no crime in walking that last part  -  you'll still get the street cred for conquering Bash Bish.

One way. You can return by descending north, down to North Adams, then back south.

Be careful on Rt 7; heavy traffic and narrow shoulder.

Great views.
