PINKHAM NOTCH — After enough years of chasing other top cyclists up the Mt. Washington Auto Road, Erik Levinsohn of Boston and Stefanie Sydlik of Pittsburgh achieved a longtime goal today, winning the men’s and women’s divisions of the Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb.
Levinsohn, 29, who had finished second and third in his two previous appearances here (2013, 2018), broke away from the lead pack in the second mile and pedaled relentlessly to Mount Washington’s 6288-foot summit, pressing himself to stay ahead of 21-year-old Drake Deuel, of Arlington, Mass., and breaking the finish-line tape in 53 minutes 42 seconds.
