Passion Solstice Soiree!
On Friday, December 21, beginning around 7pm, we will be celebrating the celestial transition known as Winter Solstice. On the Solstice, the Earth's axial tilt lines up with the sun's rays and brings the northern hemispheres the shortest day and longest night.
To mark the occasion, we will be honoring two creatures whose names grace the peak latitudes marked by annual sinuous solar movements on Earth's surface.
First we will consume some of the world's most delicious goat cheese, produced from Alpine goats Capra hircus grazing in the lovely town of Pescadero, to recognize this time of year when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn.
Next we will make our way through a ruddy pile of Half Moon Bay's delicious Dungeness crab, Cancer magister to mark our longing for the warm days of summer, when the sun is over the Tropic of Cancer.
Of course, we will have to have some wine, and some rum, and some candles as a nice warm source of light. And Jay will be bringing cheesecake for dessert.
We will also need YOU to help us celebrate properly. So please join us!
The weather has been cool but clear, so we will do a Naughty ride at leaving our parking lot at 1:00pm for a couple loops at Waterdog. Riders are most welcome to come to our little gathering with a bit of mud under your eye.
To help us when we do our shopping at the wharf over in that coastal hamlet, please RSVP to this evite by Thursday at 10am, so we can buy the right amount of sweet crustaceans for evening consumption.

Because of the large number of invitees -- the responses have been condensed (Use the links to expand any section)
my wife, Joan, will be with me. We're planning a week-long, rail-to-trail ride in Idaho in June. Both steam locomotives and geezers on bikes need gentle grades.
I will try to drop by after the little one is nestled all snug in her bed, While visions of sugar-plums dance in her head.
(please don't buy food for me--I will just have a nip of nog if you don't mind).
