Merry Christmas From Jeff, Cindy, and Eigil Bisgaard
January; This year we spent far more time in the dirt than in
previous years, with bicycle and off-the road competition permeating our
life. January saw the beginning of Eigil's bid for the California State
downhill racing championship and Cindy's extensive use of her Christmas
camera. Construction for the pool started in December & the project was well
underway by January. We take time to photograph Dennis' buggy and
watch the Parker 400 in Arizona.
February; We made our usual pilgrimage to northern California for
the Crab Feed with Mark & Karen, & the see our old friends and neighbors.
The month included some spectacular riding at Gordon's well, some time at
Carnegie Park with Tony & Vicky, and also marked the first time we had
destructive Santa Ana winds in Alpine.
March; Eigil continued his bid for the championship, but we had
time to ride down Baja to Laguna Hansen, and to feast with Kent & Eileen at
their home. We took time to scatter ashes over the Pacific for Cindy's
mother and our pup Addison.
April; April saw more dowhill racing and the filling of the pool.
Eigil turned seventeen & has been on the road behind the wheel...
May;
Frank & Jan had us over for a feast & we made recon runs down Baja in
anticipation of the Baja 500. Kent & Eileen are finally persuaded to try out
a dirt bike ride, and downhill racing continued.
June; We where invited by John to pit for his Baja race car & had
a very exciting first race at the Baja 500, he lead overall for a while
until a breakdown dashed our hopes. We joined Mike & Elena, with Al &
Michie, in Puerto Penasco Sonora for some sun in the gulf.
July; Spent a wonderful 4th at Marks, worked the pits for John at
the Henderson 250 race, and had a veritable food fest for Mike & Elena's
visit.
August; Cindy had a retirement party at Brian's, completed
the backyard's BBQ & bar, Eigil's team picked up third at Big Bear's 12 hour
marathon downhill race, and I got a chance to experience riding shotgun in a
premium off-road race car.
September; We took time off for Eigil's race in Tahoe & see Mark
& Karen, Tony & Vicky. from Tahoe we spent a few days in Las Vegas before
heading to the Primm 300 off road race to for some exciting pit work on
John's car. We took Brian & Heather for their first ride to McCain Valley.
October; October saw Eigil pickup his class win in the California
State Downhill Series. Halloween turned into a garage party, completed the
pool's patio, and took Brian to Ocotillo & got him a broken wrist.
November; Cindy attended her 25th High school reunion in
Pennsylvania, Eigil and friends attended an Ensenada downhill event as the
foreign contingent, we saw Dennis & Lora's new place & race truck, and spent
our first Thanksgiving weekend out in the dunes with Terry. We did have a
traditional Thanksgiving dinner at home with friends & neighbors.
December; Cindy got her new Z-car, & we made the SPAWAR and
Greg and Mary's Christmas Parties.
