Left work yesterday at 10:00am in anticipation of a My Washington run. Got to to Littleton NH around 7pm yesterday and holed up for the night. This morning at around 8:15am I lit out for t Washington. Temps were in the high 50s and 100% cloud cover. As I got closer to Mt Washington pockets of blue sky were poking through the cloud cover and by the time I got to Mt Washington the sky was a beautiful blue with hardly any clouds and temps in the low 70's.......perfecto! As i rolled up to the gate I was greeted by the gate keeper who informed me me that motorcycles were not allowed up the mountain today as the winds were in excess of 67 MPH. With a run to the summit blown to hell nothing to do but point the bike towards home and start the 659 mile journey home.

So a Mt Washington run will have to wait for another day. Still all good. Got 1300+ miles of riding in, what's not to love.

Cheers,

If you enjoyed the ride it was a success :) I took off a week ago with the goal of riding the entire length of the Blue Ridge Pkwy but due to closures only road about 225+ miles or so. Still had a great time riding the portions of the parkway that was open plus the two days I spend riding around Little Switzerland, NC. Any ride you take and make it home safe is a successful ride.

Yes, two years ago made the summit of My Evans on my 1st try. The feller with us tried 2 or 3 time prior without success. Mt Washington is a 1000 miles closer so a 2nd ot 10th attempt is not out of the question.
