2012 O'Hill Race

The 2012 edition of O'Hill saw four DP riders suit up to take on the trails.  Jimmy Fisher, Sonya, Shannon & Lisa were all on hand to represent.  Once again, the race was dominated by Blue Ridge Cyclery as they are the promoters of the race.  Shawn always does a great job of putting on races.  Straight out of the gate, DP notched its first two wins of the season.  Sonya won sport women and Shannon won beginner women.  Lisa had an auto shifting bike which is not conducive to climbing up all the hills.  Jimmy was coming off 4 days of an upset stomach so he was just out for the ride.  Of course Mason was racing as well.  First race of the season and she crashed in the first turn.  It was pretty unforgiving due to all the rocks she landed on...  All in all it was a great day to be on the trails and I feel we represented nicely.  More people should make it out to this race, it is a lot of fun and pretty challenging. 

Mason's favorite way of warming up these days... she loves the cross bike!

and they are off... is that Jimmy & Sonya behind the kids???

This is so easy I can take time to wave and still win.
watch those rocks this time around...
unfortunately we would see Lisa walking back a few minutes later...
Climb, climb, climb

Jimmy making it look easy.

All smiles on top of the hill

The KID making it look easier than it really is.  I spy Shannon about to win her race.

Second victory of the season for DPR

It must not hurt too bad with a smile like that...
