View east from about 250 yards down Repack.
(Pictures taken around noon on November 21, 2009. I heard the weather on some parts of the country is somewhat less temperate.)
View of the golf course on Bolinas Fairfax Road--again, it's November.
Just a general FYI to those living in fear of what many regard as downhill biking's Banzai Pipeline: Repack, aka Cascade Canyon fire road, was graded a couple of years ago.
As a result, the legendary--and sometimes mythical--abysses, six-foot drops, and ass-shattering crevices have been pretty much smoothed out.
But the overall gravitational scenario remains, so there is plenty of opportunity to fly headlong off a cliff, meld your face with a sturdy tree, juice your brain box on substantial rocks, and just generally eat any combination of rock, mud and dirt--and that's just on your way there, per the pic above of PMS Hill. Word is some people go UP Repack to avoid it.
Pine Ridge just south of where Repack drops off.
Just drops off . . .
Blue Ridge is over there somewhere:
Rolling . . .
The end: Cascade Canyone Park
For those seeking the quintessential elevator ride down scenario, there are other local hotspots that no one seems to care about. Luiz fire road coming down from Big Rock Ridge is one, and Blue Ridge fire road (which converges with Repack in Cascade Canyon is another.
