Hill Climb -- Arrival

Oregonia, Ohio

I went to my first hill climb. It is a big event that has taken place in Oregonia, Ohio since the 1940's. I'd never heard of it until this year.

We could move faster walking, so we parked at Jim's property in Oregonia
and walked the last mile or so. If the traffic started moving, we would ask
someone with a truck if we could hop in back, and they always said yes.

 


It seemed that any/every little opening near Oregonia was filled with
a group of partiers.

 


Bikes at the Little River Cafe.

 


A field of bikes near the entrance.

 


My first view of the people. This hill on the left side of the ravine overlooks
the track which is on the right side of the ravine.

 


We're here. They only sell one size of beer -- 10 bucks.

 


And we only have one injury so far -- Jim. It's a long story...
