alking. We do it every day without thought. Over the last six summers, more than 400 people from our community have accepted a special challenge and walked to a high mountain summit. For most, it was simply a lovely, but tiring, day out. But for many others, it was a walk beyond what they thought they were capable of—a transformative, even life-changing experience. � 4

Located at 810 Tennant Ave, Morgan Hill off HWY 101 & Tennant Ave
In February 1844, from the summit of Red Lake Peak near Carson Pass, John C. Fremont and Kit Carson became the first Europeans to set eyes on Lake Tahoe. What a surprising sight it must have been. At 8am on Saturday, July 13, 2019, we will follow in their footsteps to the top of Red Lake Peak...if you accept the challenge. Three years ago, 70 challengers tackled Round Top, a beautiful 10,381-foot peak just south of State Route 88 at Carson Pass. It was a great introduction to a day hiker’s playland I had not explored before. Lakes, accessible peaks, flower gardens, mountain meadows and stunning views were within comfortable reach of the average Joe— no macho required. To wit, the day before our summit climb, we walked to Winnemucca Lake. At the end of a gentle two-mile jaunt through a color riot of alpine flowers, we lunched beside an iceberg-studded lake, looking up at Round Top 1,500 feet overhead. A fabulous setting, and one usually reserved for high-mileage backcountry travelers. Since the country south of Carson Pass offered so much, I decided to cross the highway, turn north and explore. From a day-use parking area just west of Carson Pass, I set out through a stand of Sierra junipers, aspens, and western white pines that soon gave way to
a wide open sea of sagebrush. After a gentle1½-mile walk, I looked to up to my right between hummocks tumbling down from the peaks above. A craggy-crested Red Lake Peak appeared. It called, and I answered. Here's the good news: The walk to Red Lake Peak is the shortest hike (about five miles round trip) and the least elevation gain (1,500 feet) of any of the prior six challenge peaks. But don't be fooled. You don't stand on a 10,063-foot mountain top for free. The approach along the Pacific Crest Trail is gentle, but when Red Lake Peak appears, instantly every step of the 1,100-foot climb to the peak is there before you. On most ascents, the work is revealed bit by bit, so you are spared a discouraging view of the entire task ahead. Not here. It is an “Oh, my goodness” moment likely to give you pause. Here’s where you measure your resolve. There is no trail to the top, but the country is wide open, you always know where you are, and the footing is solid. Dig deep. Choose a route and go. Take one step. Then another. And another. You might be thinking: it’s too much for me. I can’t do it. You underestimate yourself. Each summer, on the morning of our challenge hike, people of all shapes and sizes, teenagers to septuagenarians, look ➝ 6

dream come true. One-year old South Valley shop Bike Therapy of Morgan Hills offers a wide range of bikes to choose from for all budgets. Owner Doug Hall wants to encourage anyone and everyone to get started riding. “We are all about getting more butts on bikes,” says Hall. Besides offering a full service bike shop, selling, servicing and offering bike fit services, Hall says Bike Therapy provides many opportunities to get riders on the road together.
“Bike Therapy helped organize Morgan Hill Bike Party,” he says. “We have weekly road and mountain bike rides and [monthly] womens’ rides.” Parents interested in surprising their child with a bike for the holidays only need their child’s height, age and favorite color to find the perfect bike. For toddlers, Hall recommends balance bikes, a pedalless solution for toddlers, which offer more stability than conventional pedal bikes. “These get kids as young as 17 months onto two wheels, learning to balance before they learn to pedal,” says Hall. “Most of the time, kids end up skipping training wheels all together.”
Laura Doughty, a seasoned sales associate who rides sweep for the women’s ride recommends personalizing bikes with fun items that include colorful bells, spoke lights, and colorful grips. “Gloves, knee pads, helmets with magnetic clasps and sunglasses make great stocking stuffers,” says Doughty. Adults can enjoy the same thrill shopping at Bike Therapy, which offers e-bikes, road, mountain, commuter, racing and kids bikes. Top brands include Specialized, Santa Cruz, Electra, Salsa, MOOTS, Subrosa and ibis. Morgan Hill’s only full-service certified repair shop also offers demo bike rentals, all weather clothing, safety gear, weekly group rides, classes and even financing. For as low as $100, customers can demo e-bike, road and mountain bikes before committing to a purchase. Hall offers a trade in programs for adults based on Bicycle Blue Book value. Trade Up programs are available for kid bikes purchased within two years from Bike Therapy. Purchased bikes can stored until the holidays. Hall and his knowledgeable staff created a vibrant culture of bike enthusiasts. The website’s online event calendar makes it easy to navigate and plan ahead for weekly road and mountain bike rides, womens’ rides, and the upcoming Holiday Lights Ride on Dec. 22. Hall created a winning formula: great bike selection for every need and budget; a knowledgeable team whose passion and love for the sport is infectious; has cultivated a bike culture packed with weekly classes, group rides and special events and a social environment with bars and restaurants in the same courtyard where riders can unwind and mingle after a ride.

Relics renewed Ashford’s continues to sell antiques during its remodel By
KIMBERLY EWERTZ complete, hopefully by the end of this year. “One dealer sells Native American jewelry and it’s all beautifully made turquoise and coral, and sterling silver,” Ashford said, adding that prices start at around $30 for the unique pieces. Other items range in price from a few dollars up to hundreds. The ever-changing inventory includes an assortment of, handmade ornaments, cake plates, champagne flutes, wine glasses, and table
linens. All great gift ideas for the holidays. Gifts for the kids are also available with the selection of children books, puzzles, and board games on hand. “We don’t do electronics,” Ashford said with a grin, adding she is happy to gift wrap, and shipping is available.

Seeing Dreams Come True... I started a career in Real Estate so I could help people make their dreams of owning a home come true. Owning your own home is one of everyone’s biggest dreams! And I get enjoyment out of seeing dreams come true. I have been working in Real Estate since 2003, making deals throughout California. I like working with sellers because they are moving on to another adventure in their future of home buying – either upgrading or downͲ sizing. I like working with buyers because I like to see their reactions to the houses we look at. I also like the fulfillment of making their dream of owning a home come true. The most important thing I do for my clients is making myself available at all times – 7 days a week – morning, afternoon and evening.
