The simplest route in the Ride Library. And only one hill!

Note School Mtn Road access is a left on Rt 9 and a right onto the access road. 

Other points of access exist: East Mtn Rd, Dicktown Rd and Wiccopee Rd. But not on this page.

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.
