PINKHAM NOTCH — Rain, fog, heavy clouds and thunder today delayed the start of the Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb by two hours on Saturday, but by late morning the famously unpredictable weather of the White Mountains calmed enough to allow 397 cyclists to race to the summit of the highest peak in the northeastern U.S. Leading the way to the mountain’s 6288-foot summit were Aimee Vasse, 40, from Longmont, Colo., and Barry Miller, 30, from Beverly, Mass.
The first New Hampshire finishers were Darren Piotrow, 19, of Jackson, who placed seventh overall in 1:01:31, and 55-year-old Johanna Lawrence of Nashua, 10th among all women in 1:25:54.
