PIC’s blog

On Sunday, October 18th, 85 cyclists participated in the PIC 50km Pre-HOM Fun Ride. The course started and ended at PIC with a loop encircling part of the island. Racers climbed to the Airport up Isa Drive past the Botanical Gardens and down to Kingfisher Golf Links and back, followed by a speedy downhill from Capitol Hill to Sadog Tasi.  At the bottom of the hill, the course veered north to Aqua Resort for the turnaround.  Then, it was a straight shot back to PIC on Chalan Pale Arnold Road, a right turn at the American Memorial Park Tennis Courts and south down Beach Road back to PIC.

PIC Palooza celebrated hair and fashion of the 80's along with the "Big Hair" contest.  Here, two ladies assist their customer with a can of hairspray and much teasing.

One of the memorable pop groups of the 80's was DEVO. Who can forget the song (1 hit wonder), "Whip It!"
