Organized by the United States Classic Racing Association, the Tower Street Hill Climb has taken place at its original location off Lakeside Avenue at Weirs Beach since 1916. The hill climb features vintage motorcycles in the competition for the fastest time up the steep incline. This year’s competition took place on Tuesday afternoon.
Motorcyclists slowly make their way down after Tower Street after the hill climb Tuesday afternoon. Held annually at The Weirs during Laconia Motorcycle Week, the event is a staple of the rally. The wet roads from the rain made it harder to safely brake after completing the climb. (Daniel Sarch/The Laconia Daily Sun photo)
