It was the 18th year for the Gerry Pomerleau Memorial Ride, put on by the Auto Road and the New Hampshire ATV Club. Despite the typically challenging Mount Washington weather, Auto Road Marketing Director Crispin Battles reported a successful event. He added that the Auto Road will consider expanding the ATV event to a second day next year but that no decision has been made at this point.
