Pinkham Notch, N.H. – August 18, 2012
Six weeks ago, M.I.T. graduate student Cameron Cogburn and former Boston University distance runner Marti Shea were the runaway winners of Newton's Revenge, the annual July bicycle race up the Mt. Washington Auto Road in New Hampshire. Today Cogburn and Shea duplicated that performance by winning the Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb, a race on the same 7.6-mile all-uphill course against a much larger field of competitors.
