      Long route to explore all Mt. Ascutney has to offer. Flow at the beginning with lots of old tech at the end.

      Agreed this is a great fairly technical climb. Very doable but keeps things interesting.

      Glad I did it, but phew. It’s all business, bottom to top. The Powder Keg descent is worth the climb IMO.

      I found this very difficult on a mountain bike. The e-bikes were eating it up but there are many technical sections.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
