With the climb/race being this weekend I'm wondering who on the forum is doing Mt. Washington this year?
I always enjoy reading the ride reports about this torturous event.
Good luck to those who are going up.

Probably not many.
Forecast is miserable. Likely rain, cold and high winds.

Newton's challenge was canceled in similar weather, although it was warmer.

Oh man I hope that doesn't happen again. It's a whole different world up there with the weather and all. Down here on the seacoast its supposed to be sunny and clear, you just can never tell.
Well, I'm hoping for the best.

You don't have to travel very far to have different weather. Linus and I went to Newton's last month and were very excited at race time because the weather was crystal clear gorgeous – canceled, though, due to zero visibility at the summit.
