Downieville Classic!

Good lookin' crew right there.  Huzzah!
Back in Downieville!  Metres organized a fun family weekend up at Downieville.  The boys did the Downieville Classic XC race, and the ladies did a great job supporting us.

our first road trip in the Prius!

Registered, ready to rock.  So many events in Downieville during the day.  
Easy Crusin' down to the start
The cheerleading team met us near the campsite... which is at the top of the brutal climb.
Go J-Chase!
Toro!
Kids being cute
Sena... scaring the kids
Dres... winning.

Map of the route.

It rained on us for a few minutes during the ride... which was a nice relief.  And made the trails extra dirty.
Finish pic!
Dirty finishers....
the finishing line bikes... 

Naptime on the way back to camp.
Back at the campfire...
The local lake... the ladies about to swim across the lake.  

Nikko likes to swim until he is uncontrollably shivering.
We warmed him up on a nice chair
We joined the Marins and Chases for lunch at Metres' new house!
The kids were collecting pine cones!
Then we drove straight to Joe & Laura's who were streaming Phish.

happy B-day Anthea!!!

Pano: Sierra Buttes


On the way up to our camp above Sierraville for the Downieville XC.... Nikko almost made it... but no he got carsick.  We were sooo close... at least he made us stop at a nice view.

Is it ski season yet?
