Winter Solstice Party

Posted by PeterD Thu, 21 Dec 2006 23:30:00 GMT

Last weekend, Passion hosted a Winter Solstice Party. We were celebrating the fact that we have gotten to the shortest day of the year, so each day that passes will now mean slightly more daylight (riding time!).

Camille did a great job at sprucing up the place. She took the redwood diorama and turned it into an Xmas tree through some creative use of socks.

Overall, at least 60 people came. I think everyone would agree that it was quite an enjoyable evening.

Downieville

I think everyone will agree when I say the weekend was awesome. Big Boulder on Saturday, Lavezzola Creek on Sunday, and a Butcher Ranch on Monday.

It had rained up there the week before, which washed away the dust and added an extra helping of traction. Those of us who had been there many times before all agreed that the conditions were the best we had ever seen.

So, enough talking and on with some pictures…

A group of us met for the weekly after-work ride on Wednesday, July 5. I grabbed a few photos and video clips while we were out there, and thought I would share…

Uncommon knowledge

Posted by PeterD Fri, 19 May 2006 20:31:00 GMT

Just some uncommon knowledge for everyone…

• Turning around in our tight little driveway is a pain, isn’t it. Well, you don’t have to. The driveway actually continues out past the towing company and Donsco and exits onto Marine View. It really does go through. I know, it doesn’t look like it, but check it out for yourself.

• Berry, the guy at the shop who is usually working (hiding?) in the back, and some other volunteers (DaveO, BillS, JonA, and maybe others) fixed a portion of the Ohlone Trail (trail 7 on the map) at WaterDog last weekend. This area was staying muddy due to springs in the area, so they added a bridge. Looks like it could be fun to ride – somewhat narrow, so a baby step towards learning how to ride North Shore style stunts.

Fun Friday Trivia

• did you know that one of the employees of the shop has climbed to the top of the world? Same person also has their picture on the cover of one of the mountain biking books we sell (no, he wasn’t mountain biking on Mt. Everest – the book cover photo is from a different time). He went as part of a group called Climbing for a Cure. Can you tell who he is from his picture?
