Every year there are several races to the summit of Mount Washington. Last weekend I drove up to photograph a practice ride for the upcoming Newton’s Revenge and Hill Climb. June 20th will be the road race to the summit. I’ll be up there for that one as well.  Here’s some insight into why any of these guys would want to pedal to 6288 feet above sea level.

3500 rubber ducks racing to the finish line on the Wildcat River in Jackson, NH. The Chamber of Commerce in Jackson, New Hampshire has been putting on the “Wildquack Duck Race” for the last 20 years. The grand prize is a check for $1,000. It’s a great time time for the whole family, with a classic New England festival and parade to round out the day.
