The flying here is amazing! Even though we started the day with high clouds shutting down the lift, we were able to get in an out-and-return task down the valley. We flew 22kms down the valley and the same plus a little further back to the landing field. I made it to the turn point and just over half way back (38 km total I think?) and was exhausted! I can definitely feel the fact that I haven't flown many hours this year.
Here's a shot of the start of the race - we all fly around above launch until the start time and take off when the clock ticks down to the start. It's an adrenaline rush for sure when there are 100 pilots all flying circles in the same area!
