I launched at 5 pm in a well-timed lull, and was delivered into plentiful smoother-than-expected lift. It felt like the normally-later glass-off. There were thermals, but they were unusually wide and soft-edged. I gathered near 3 hours airtime and reached 5600′. Only landed because the sun was setting.
Returning from a trip over the valley, with David in the sky…
Looking South along the mountain Spine, from over Hwy 79…
Alongside Cory in his new Ion 7…
Barely keeping up with David’s new pod harness…
And myself in unapologetic orange (thanks to David for the picture)…

Felt like coastal ridge soaring, and much of the afternoon there was a nice lift band out over the road that covered the whole local part of the range. Light, easy flying with no need for extra layers (comfy t-shirt weather). Maxed out at 5900′ and got 2 1/2 hours in.
