This is an annual event during Laconia Bike Week and attracts
a large number of bike riding spectators. Gunstock Mountain
Resort is a popular ski area in the Lakes Area of NH not far
from Laconia. It has had several events linked to Bike Week
including the discontinued Vintage Race and Swap Meet. The
Hillclimb continues as AMA Amateur/Youth Hillclimbing. The
hillclimbing use to be done on the steep ski jump hill but this
year it was done on the terraced ski slope as a timed event.
So the main danger was acclerating too hard during the initial
start and going over. I rode my Morini 3 1/2 there and took
1100 photos in the on and off misty rain.
There are about 1100 photos of this event. At this time the photos in
1280x960 jpg format are available on a CD for $10. CD 07_07
