Organized and sanctioned by the Sports Car Club of New Hampshire, the 2014 Subaru Mt.

Also known as the “Climb to the Clouds”, the Mt. Washing- ton Hillclimb is one of Ameri- ca’s oldest motorsports events, first run in July, 1904, seven years before the first 500- mile race at the famous Indi- anapolis Motor Speedway and twelve years prior to the inau- gural Pikes Peak Hillclimb in Colorado. The Climb to the Clouds was run sporadical- ly from 1904-1961, then not again until 1990 when it was Courtesy run consistently until 2001. The attached photograph shows current Mt.

The Mountain Ear | Thursday, September 5, 2013 | Page 17 As the Wheel Turns As the Wheels Stop: It’s been a great ride! By Peter Minnich With considerable sadness and nostalgia, I offer my last “As the Wheel Turns” arti- cle. Economic considerations have caused the Mountain Ear to morph into a monthly magazine format, ending my 15-year ride as a contributing writer to the weekly Mt. Ear. I don’t know if the late found- ing editor, Steve Eastman, knew what he was getting into when he hired me in the late ‘90’s to write a Valley bicycling column. We could never quite agree if it was “As the Wheel Turns” or “As the Wheels Turn,” but they kept on turn- ing for more rides than I can remember. Not only am I in- debted to Steve for getting me started, but also to Nina Perry for her editorial patience in the early years. When I start- ed writing, the Ear was a true Valley Original. I’m sorry to see it change. In 2010, I started writing a winter column – “The Great Outdoors” – which gave me an opportunity to try some new Peter Minnich topics.

The repertoire comes from well-known Broadway musicals penned by the likes of Sondheim, Porter, Gershwin, Weill, Herman, etc.; popular jazz pieces made famous by the “greats”; and “oldies.” The singers are Janet Gill, Tere- sa Dyer, Susie Mosca, Ginnie Spaulding, Sue Farrington, Tom Ferent, Craig Holden, Jeremiah Gill, Dave Mason, and Chaz LaFreniere, with George Wiese at the piano.
