Lovely evening at Blue Rock today, nothing huge but an hour of easy soaring and playing around with some good friends.
This Thursday may be shaping up to be a good day, it's the time of year for big flights in the bay area. Last year about this time a few of us launched Diablo and I made it to Patterson while another one of the guys made it about 20 miles past Fresno (240K flight!). The retrieve was long that day, made it back to the cars about midnight.
My goals for this year are 100 kilometers and 18,000 feet. I made 86k last year and had a day where I went to 16,000' but had to stop climbing since I was flying without oxygen. Bought myself an O2 setup for this year and hoping for some big days in the Eastern Sierra.
If anyone is interested, most of us fly with trackers when going XC and you can watch peoples flights at xcfind.us
On top of Diablo couple weeks ago with the glider strapped on the moto, did all the fun things that day.
