The last few weeks have been hot and sunny, and I've somehow managed to convince Brent to be my passenger for a few tandems.

Another nice November day. We finally got a break from about a week of Santa Ana winds today and the flying was worth the wait. The air was surprisingly clear given all the recent fires in Southern California.

Glen Volk is a champion...

We were staying in Ocean Beach and I was having trouble finding our hotel. I pulled over in a neighborhood to open my laptop and pull up mapquest, when a vehicle pulled up fast behind me. A man rocked up to my window and asked, "Where ya from?" I turned to see Glen Volk staring at me! Inadvertantly, I'd parked across the street from his house. He was stopping at home and we were shocked to see each other.

The next day, Glen spent his afternoon shuttling us around with his personal secret beach access point below Torrey Pines.
