Sunrise Ride - Mt. Washington

[loudbeard]

I’ll know on Saturday morning whether or not I’m going to attend. Need to see if I have room for the bike after packing for Winnipasauke.

If anyone else is out & about riding on Sunday, the fourth Scott Mullin Memorial Ride is that morning. Starting at Souhegan Valley Motorsport. Registration opens at 9, kickstands up at 11 culminating in a parade lap around Loudon.

Jay, you should ride Mt Washington & then meet us at SVM

That WOULD be a fuck of a ride though! Leave my house at 2:00am, boot it up to the mountain by 4:00-4:30, hopefully up & down by 6:30-7:00, then to MILFORD by 9:00? It's not possible. Ending my day at NHMS would be a more likely outcome. Ending the day at Gunstock's food truck festival sounds even more likely...

Although it's still very unlikely I'll be riding up for this this year. It's not 100% outta the question, but odds are strongly against it at this point. I *AM* keeping a close eye on the weather for that area, juuuuuusssssttttt in case.

Keeping in mind they can prohibit motorcycles at any time for any reason...

An ATV ride up could be a great back up plan .

John Boy has got one and I’ll have mine with me this weekend also .

I want a coffee on top of Mt. Washington at sunrise, once in my lifetime.

I already looked into that. ATV's aren't allowed until 9:00am on the 25th.

If I don't do this this year, it'll definitely happen next year for the July sunrise event.

Nope, not riding up this time around. I'm setting my sites on the July sunrise ride 2025.

I had to choose between Mountain Bike and Multistrada, I chose MTB.

I do like the idea of this ride, I’ll likely do July next year.

No bike ride up for me this year. Josh already purchased a ticket to drive up, so I hitched my wagon and jumped in with him. A sunrise is a sunrise I guess and it was likely the only time in my life I caught the sunrise sober and not fucked up on something, but it was kinda spectacular. The Auto Road crew did a great job getting vehicles up the hill on time. It wasn't nearly as big a turnout as I expected.

Would it have been enjoyable on a bike ?

I will be planning to do it on the bike for the July event next year.

There's was a small handful of bikes. When we got to the summit at 5:00am the temp was 50 with a slight breeze. By 6:00am sunrise it was up to a whopping 55 and it was sunny & clear as day. It would have been the perfect ride.

I kept an eye out for you & Jon. Obviously you guys didn't make it?
