The 2015 Delta Dental Mt. Washington Road Race

It's been super busy and this is a little late but here are some of my favorite photographs from the Mt. Washington Road Race.  For the uninitiated, here's a little back story... The 55th Northeast Delta Dental Mount Washington Road Race was held Saturday, June 20, 2015 at the Mt. Washington Auto Road.  The race is a 7.6-mile hillclimb to the summit of Mt. Washington, climbing more than 4,500′ en route with average grades of 12% and maximum grade of 21%.  This year's winners were Joe Gray, who set a new American record, and Kim Dobson.  To see more images, check out my race gallery.
