  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: It's a wonderful event, and I'm so glad that I did it. Like other events that I like the most, the race is more against the course than against the other competitors. The setting is stunning, and the organization appeared to be flawless. Also the best race swag ever -- can't beat that thick fleecy blanket, plus a decal "This bike climbed Mt Washington", a variant on a commonly seen car decal in New England. The only downer is that the entry fee is as steep as the climb itself. At $350 for an event that lasts about as long as a half marathon, WTC race fees seem quite generous. But the fees support the charity sponsor, and since the ride always sells out in 1-2 days, I guess they charge what they can get away with. I'm not sure that I would do it every year at that price, even if I was living close by, but I'm definitely glad to have done it the once.
