What does "Weather Date" mean? We will move the race to the Weather Date if the following conditions are reported on the road and summit the morning of race day - ICE, SNOW, VERY HIGH WINDS and HARD DRIVING RAIN. We will stop the race if conditions are deemed unsafe for the riders in the race or cars heading down. We will not cancel the race for "uncomfortable" conditions. Your are participating in a race where the venue is note for having the most challenging weather conditions - Mt. Washington. If weather should cause cancellation both days, your entry fee will be graciously accepted as a donation to Tin Mountain. Sorry, NO REFUNDS.

The Mt. Washington Hill Climb is quickly becoming known as the toughest hill climb in the world.

The Mt Washington Auto Road is 7.6 miles in length, has an average grade of 12% with extended sections of 18% and the last 50 yards is an amazing 22%! Sprint that to the finish!

See www.Northeastcycling.com for some great information.

Our advice from the IRS indicates the following:

All but $25 of your registration is deductible as a charitable donation for all Hillclimb riders not in the Top Notch category.

All Hillclimb riders in the Top Notch category may deduct any registration amount over $150.

TMCC's opinion is not a substitute for advice from a qualified tax professional.
