Not accessible by rail. Vigorous climbfest: only the most fit need apply. 6000' vertical gain. For a shorter distance (66 miles), there is public parking on Rt 28 just west of Rt 47 on the left. A public drinking water pipe is on Sugarloaf, on the left, less than 0.1 mile past the turn for Red Hill.

A very ambitous ride for a B rider who is good in the hills, but a solid A workout.
