Willka Raymi ("Goddess Feast") is a feast celebrated in the Cusco Region in Peru. It's the traditional offering ceremony to Pachamama, a goddess revered by the Indigenous peoples of the Andes. She is a fertility goddess who presides over planting and harvesting, embodies the mountains, and causes earthquakes. The celebrations are held annually on this date in the archaeological complex of Pisac. The name Willka Raymi is in Quencha, also called ˈɾʊna ˈsɪmɪ ("people's language") in Southern Quechua, an indigenous language family that originated in central Peru and thereafter spread to other countries of the Andes.

While camping in Santa Cruz, I've been working in the Capitola Branch Library, an increibly useful resource for me. The branch is closed on Sunday, so I decided to do a quick ride before noon, the deadline to be out of the campsite. I went up Rodeo Gulch a few weeks ago with the club, but I hadn't been up San Jose Soquel Road for years, so I rode up to Casalegno's and Laurel Glen to the top of Rode Gulch, then back to New Brighton. Overcast at the shore, sunny in the hills. Very enjoyable ride!
