places you wish you lived
The 1 year I made it BC I felt like I had gone to the golden promise land of Mountain Biking. It was everything I had hoped it to be. We got hooked up with some locals who pointed us to some of the more obscure back country freeride trails like Bob Gnarly and Cop Killer up in Killington, and the 9th Hole in Squamish among many others. We all got back to Cali so pumped and excited about riding, to only be reminded that just about every trail in the bay is a "no jump" area and the trails are slim to none these days. 3 local jumping spots have been plowed and the overall Bay Area "home of mountainbiking" surely has to be the lamest place to bestow such a name. I guarantee the "home of Nascar" has a museum, a restaurant, flags entering the town and the most dialed track. Sad state of affairs. If you recall last year I started down the road of getting a jump park legalized and built in the berkeley area. I'm going to make the contacts again and see if I can get back on course with the process. In the meantime, I came across a video that has a trail that I wish we had up in the hills here. Take me to this place of promise.

Celebration of Peter's life
Dear Family and Friends,
Sally, Steve, Jessica, and I have received a wealth of Peter stories from many of you. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful memories. We have enjoyed reading about the meaningful moments that so many have spent with Peter, as well as the everyday Peter quirks and adventures that made him so special.
A service has not yet been held. Peter requested that we celebrate his life with a joyful event, so we will be taking the time to plan and do exactly that. Please join us in remembering and celebrating Peter's life on Sunday, June 15th, at the Skyline Community Church in the Oakland hills. The exact time and other details will follow shortly in another e-mail and we will be in touch about any requests for extra helping hands.
Sally, Steve, Jessica, and I have officially moved back to the East Bay after 7 months in Mountain View. It has been hard to return to a place that has seemingly changed so little, when things have changed so much. We all had a difficult time leaving Mountain View and the Stanford area because it signified the closing of one chapter of our journey with Peter and the start of a new one without him. We have gone through enough tissue boxes to clear a small forest, but we have also been able to share laughter as we remember Peter and all his Peter ways. Steve and Sally have returned to their home in Shepherd Canyon and I have moved in along with them. Jessica has moved back to her apartment, but spends half of her days and nights with us at Shepherd Canyon. David has been wonderful and is also at Shepherd Canyon along with Sachi. Eli is still wagging his tail so hard that his entire body wags with him.
Thank you again for all the love and support that has been flowing in. Your prayers and positive thoughts have meant a lot to us. Please continue to send Peter stories and photos our way as we would like to include them in a memory book for all to share.
We look forward to spending time with Peter's family and friends on June 15th and we know that Peter will be right there with us.
Love,
Sally, Steve, Jessica, and Alekist
