PINKHAM NOTCH — For two decades, mountain bikers from across the country ventured to the base of Mount Washington in Pinkham Notch to compete in the 24 Hours of Great Glen. This epic, round-the-clock race was the first of its kind in New England, following a specially designed course at Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center with a mixture of fast-paced gravel carriage roads and technical single track.
First held in 1995 with a modest 11 teams, the event steadily grew to more than 180 teams and 500 participants for its last running in 2015.
