Ride to the Clouds and NECN

Motorcyclists make their way up the Auto Road
It’s been a busy day here on the summit! The second Ride to the Clouds occurred today, which is an event hosted by the Mount Washington Auto Road. To celebrate the Laconia Motorcycle Week, the road closes to everyone but official stage coaches and motorcycles. I don’t have an exact number on the amount of bikes that made it to the summit, but there was a steady stream coming up the road for the entire day.
Tomorrow should be another exciting day as NECN Meteorologist Nelly Carreño reports live from the summit! The weather is looking clear and crisp for her visit and for the next few days as a ridge of Canadian high pressure builds down onto the area. Temperatures will hover in the low to mid 30’s, and with an added breeze, wind chills will drop below freezing for over 24 hours starting tonight. It looks to be chilly but beautiful!
