    After having a few weeks off it was time to get back to racing at the OTH! Good to see all of our friends again after a few weeks of down time.. Looks like a few people have been putting in some miles.. Tonight was a great turn out and we still have 5 more races left. The word seems to be the course was real fun and they are getting better each week.. Here are a few of my photos from tonight. Enjoy see ya all next week!

    Yes, tonight was awesome, not that it was different than the others per se, but I just think this is such a fun event that for the last month while the series was on break, my family and I have been like: "It's Tuesday and we're not racing, what gives?" Looking forward to the next 5 weeks.

    To all those who have never raced, get out there, this is the event to start at!

    Hey Mike, thanks for the pic and the kind words. We had a grand time--the vibe was extra cool tonight. We met several racers new to OTH and tried to make them feel welcome. Ava nabbed another 1st Place in the Girls 6-8 even with falling on a descent. She dusted off and got back on the bike--very proud of her. I finished somewhere in the back quarter of Sport 4. I didn't crash, so I'm happy.

    Agree...really cool vibe. Lot's of racers cheering others on as they passed. Had fun.....but man my racing technique stinks! :) I have a lot to learn.

    Hey David, hope Ava is OK - she's doing great! And thanks for the shout-out. I was dealing with cramping on my right side so it helped keep me going. Wasn't able to kick it into a higher gear but did my best. Top 8 in B3 class all finished within a minute of each other - crazy! :bang:

    Hey, I just wrote what he told me to :lol: Great times last night. Need to purchase loudspeaker. This heckling stuff is taking a toll on my voice. Everyone looked so beat on the beach, even on the first lap. Did they flog you over on the north side or what??

    Legendary heckling that spares no one. You heckled the guy in front of me for letting me catch him, and me for NOT catching him at the same time. #-o:lol:

    Nice meeting you last night btw.

    As far as the rest of the race went, it was another great time out there. I really liked the layout and felt they did a great job laying out back portion. My race went good other than getting a flat on the last 1/3 of the last lap and losing few positions when I stopped to put air in it.

    Speaking of heckling, here are a few of the fonder ones I received around the course:

    "David Fong, you're all alone!"

    "You can start peddling now!"

    "You're not moving much!"

    Hilarious stuff! It's good I respond well to negative motivation. :)

    Sorry, couldn't be up the hill getting the race pics and do kids at the same time. My second photographer had to cover another event this time so I could only pic one spot. When we come back on August 20, we will do more stuff around the start/finish line.
