Mt. Washington was shrouded in clouds during the early morning hours of Saturday, August 21, 2021 when riders who were registered for the 48th Annual Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb (MWARBH) gathered in the field at the base of the Auto Road. The weather forecast was all over the place saying in and out of the clouds, possible showers, chance of thunderstorms, and, to top it off, Henri, a hurricane, was on the way to hit New England.

In the early morning hours on Sunday, August 1st, 10 teams each representing one individual athlete departed the base of the Auto Road determined to reach the 6,288-foot summit. Each team includes an adaptive athlete and “mules” who help the athlete in any way necessary as he or she makes the arduous climb up the 7.6 mile Auto Road to the summit. The teams must pull together and push through the grueling ascent to overcome this great challenge.

New Hampshire PBS recently received a Boston/New England Emmy® Award for outstanding historical/cultural program. MT. WASHINGTON AUTO ROAD TO THE SKY explores the more than 150-year history of the Mt. Washington Auto Road in New Hampshire, which has guided millions of visitors to the highest peak in New England by car, truck, foot, ski and bicycle.
