Day 5. A 145k racing task.
Looks like a fast 145k task (double out and return to Chievely area) in a window of good weather. Blink and you'll miss it! First launch not before 11:30, but it could be then. Some top cover during the day but still convective. Frontal top cover later in the afternoon means a short race.

Day 3. Competitors starting
We have a few starters, but also a few that have landed back and gone for tea. The SpotTheGliders watchers can't decide whether 370 (Denis) or KCZ (Alex & Hamid) are in front. Either way, if there are points going KCZ should get a large share of them.

Day 3. First Launch 12:15
The Met Man has promised us a small window of opportunity. We have a 104k task that is very similar to the Booker 100k milk run ! First launch at 12:15. A couple of people have decided not to grid, but if the current conditions hold we should get finishers.
