Mt. Mitchell in NC is the highest point east of the Mississippi at 6,684 ft. Mt. Washington at 6,288 ft. is the most topographically prominent mountain east of the Mississippi (meaning adjacent turf is lower in elevation than that at Mt. Mitchell). Sorry, I am an elder engineer. Just the facts, ma'am!
And you are correct! Another engineer here. Interestingly, you can ride or drive to the summit of both mountains. Mt. Mitchell is paved all the way up, has no fee to pay, and starts from relatively high up on the Blue-ridge Parkway. Mt Washington is also surrounded by high elevation points in the Presidential Range, but the base of the mountain is a lower point (above sea level) which makes it more prominent. It is also what makes the weather there so extreme. Both are worthy visits.
I live near here and just discovered Sandwich Notch rd during peak foliage last year. What an amazing ride. And that bridge is the background of my Facebook page lol. Great spots.
Great to see my little home state in the BDR series! It’s certainly different than the riding out west, but NH does have its charm. Thanks, for sharing, Sterling!
It isn’t the highest mountain because the base of the mountain is considerably higher. I’ve ridden up both. Mt Mitchell doesn’t compare to the experience of riding up Washington. Try them both and then tell me that I’m wrong.
Lol, you're not pissing on my bike ! You go, bro !!! Thanks for the N.E. BDR, Sir, and your teammates . I'm 56, so for me, riding a big ADV bike uhm I rather not . I'll take a little abuse from the DRZ . But I bet the ride home is rewarding where I'll be screw this . We are going to U-Haul . Peace ✌️ 😂
You’re always finding self serve food places. I’ve lived in Vermont and NH for 10 years after college and I never saw one of these places! How do you find them? What’s the secret?
Thank you for creating this video series. Will ride this hopefully next year. As a native of New Hampshire growing up a few miles from Mount Washington but now living in South Dakota, it was nice to see home. A bit of fact checking for you though. As much we New Hampshire native love our beloved Mount Washington, it isn't the tallest peak East of the Mississippi. Mount Mitchell in North Carolina takes that distinction. And the 9 tallest are all in that area of North Carolina and Tennessee. Great series, can't wait for Maine. Thanks
@ 1:25 "The Brick" is said to be the oldest General Store, but Wikipedia says " is a general store located at 4 Main Street in Adamsville, Rhode Island. Founded in 1788, it operated for almost 225 years and was reputed to be the oldest continually operating general store in the United States" You see with this new found information you have now incorporated Rhode Island into your NEBDR making it a true NEBDR:) cheers
Thank you so much for publishing this very inspiring and informative video, Sterling! I look forward to meeting you in person someday. Eric Milano and Victoria Zandonella are two of my riding heroes 👍🏼👍🏼.
As I understand the route, it runs through Canaan and there are some good views which you may have missed. The video jumps over that section right to Mt. Chocorua. There's some good viewing prior to that, if you take a detour here and there.
I’ve owned 6 BMW automobiles. Never had any problems with the wheels. Strange their motorcycle wheels are not same quality?? Very strange!! Unless you’re schilling for the other wheel guy.
Your wind speed reference is incorrect. The highest ever recorded was on May 3rd, 1999 in Oklahoma City during the F5 tornado. The meters stopped at 300mph. It is thought the wind speed was even faster but the meter couldn't measure more than 300mph.
Correct but Mt. Washington held the record for well over 100+ years, recording the highest wind speed in the world. That speed has since been exceeded. But the point still remains, it's God awful windy up there in a storm. The wood buildings are "chained" to the ground. The weather station is essentially a concrete bunker. The summit is not open to the public in the winter.
Hey, I’m gonna make a quick critique as I just found your channel. You have great camera skills but there was so little motorcycle in this video it could’ve been made with any form of transportation. If you guys are going to talk that much and have so many long b roll shots at different locations you need to make your videos three times as long so we get a sense of the actual bikes out on the road or trail! Also, the TH-cam algorithm favors longer videos so it will help your videos be found by more motorcycle TH-camrs.. with your camera skills, longer videos will definitely help you build your watch and subscriber count!

Great channel, love the way put the videos together, really like the way you film
I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers by the way
Awesome, thank you!

Thanks Ben! It was awesome out there - the whole ride!
Mt Mitchell is the highest point east of the Mississippi. lol 😆

Oh boy. Class 6 roads.
New Hampshire is gorgeous, love New England. Ride safe!
The best! Thanks for watching :-)
Dude, did you get the New Hampshire abbreviation backwards (Chocorua, HN)? We're only human after all. Great video of the NEBDR. 👍👍👍 KTSU

Great video. Thanks for sharing this lovely ride
Mt Wash area is the best! Fun ride from Mt Wash down to Portland ME.
Another awesome segment Sterling!! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it

AWESOME! Thanks for sharing.
Nice! i have done sections of this route, looking forward to do it in the fall. Great video of our state.
Awesome! Thank you!
Another great production Sterling. Love your work👍
Much appreciated

Thanks
I didn't realize that Mount Washington isn't the tallest peak on the east coast. Thanks for pointing that out.!
@@SterlingNoren It is the Tallest peak East of the Mississippi AND North of the Mason Dixon Line
Every country store is “Americas Oldest”! Didn’t you know that?

Great riding, and editing!
I am from Pakistan. Thanks for sharing nice video of your ride. Awesome.
You can always spot a flatlanda by the way they pronounce Kancamagus...
Locals here call it the "kangamaingus" lol or the KANG, god its so funny to see these guys riding near my house LOL
Mt. MITCHELL, N.C is the highest point east of the Mississippi River
NH not HN AT THE 3:40 ISH MARK.... great video
The highest wind speed ever recorded was on Mt Washington at 231 MPH.
Nice!!
soon as you said "kanc" I was gone.
Slime is the worse thing to use. If you ever need to plug the hole with a tire plug you cannot. The slime doesn't allow it to stick
I’ve owned 6 BMW automobiles. Never had any problems with the wheels. Strange their motorcycle wheels are not same quality??
Very strange!! Unless you’re schilling for the other wheel guy.
Curious as to how many miles on average you were covering a day?
Didn't Kerry berry build that Durgan bridge
Hmmm.... not sure about that :-)
Why don’t u post maps of your routes so the rest of us ‘not in your magical never never land’ can find these places?
Go to ridebdr.com, All of the GPS tracks are there for free!

Mt Mitchel Is the highest point East of the Mississippi, not Mt. Washington.
correct. Mt. Washington is the highest peak in New England and I believe the highest north of the Carolinas.
