Submitted by Mark Dowsett on Mon, 05/19/2008 - 10:56.Now for the good part of day 1 at the Miles in May....they had a 103km task to the SE of Vulcan. Apparently the day took a while to get good. Ross Hunter was the only one to make goal. I talked to Rob Clarkson and he made it 20km short of goal.
Today (holiday Monday) brings overcast skies and a not-so-good forecast for today and the next two days look rather rainy.

Spring is here.
Submitted by Rob Clarkson on Mon, 05/12/2008 - 11:01.Spring is here. - The flying season has finally begun at home. We’ve had some crappy weather here so far this spring. Lucky some of us were able to head south and get a head start on the flying. Moore, Doug k, Doug D, Paul, Fiona, Ross, Bruce and myself headed out to Vulcan to get in some flying. Bruce was loading up and getting ready to go when the rest of us arrived and started to set up. Ross towed him up and he was able to get away at 1:00. I was the next ready and Doug K towed me up.
