Hi friends from NH,
i planned to ride Mt Washington auto road with a friend tomorrow, never climb up before. I've seen go pro vdo riding this road on you tube, it seem thin road with edge in some parts. How is this road for bike ride? After the ride we wanna spend a night in Jackson or North Conway. Some of you have some spot to share (restaurant, hotel), maybe some tricks to see in the area?
We will ride 112 to go back home (eastern township Québec) saturday.

Thanks for helping!
Kareen

I don't have any tips for you other than make sure your brakes are in good shape for the ride down and the weather can be totally different up top so bring extra clothes if you can.

Part of the road is dirt.

It's well packed so traction is no issue.

The road is very narrow. It's scarier on the way down because you are closer to the edge.

I've never ridden up on a bike, but lots of people do.

It's pretty pricey.
