Well the time has almost come to fly full time. Ski season is winding down, and it's time to change the gears to be in the air. I will be leaving for the 1st round of the US Nationals in Dunlap, CA on April 20th. First part of the trip will be in Utah at Point of the Mountain, to dial in the gliders and get the dust and rust off. Then on to Dunlap, CA arriving on Friday the 24th or Saturday the 25th. Hopefully getting some training flights in on Saturday or Sunday. The comp starts Monday the 27th for 6 days. I will explain the new US National scoring format in subsequent blogs.
On Memorial day weekend beginning of the 21st of May, we have the Villa Grove freeflight open in Villa Grove, CO. This event is not to be missed. There will be fun flying, with a mini comp. We will also have a cross country skill development program offered. The course will be 4 days, and consist of GPS use, thermaling skills, cross country tactics, weather, etc.
On June 4th through 7th, paragliding will be at the Teva Mountain Games again. It will be a fun cross country race to goal format as last year. Unfortunately we were completely blown out last year. However the weekends before and after turned out favorable. We are hoping for better conditions this year. Check out the games website at www.tevamountaingames.com.
And the very next weekend, June 13th and 14th, we will be have the Roan Cliffs classic in Rifle, CO. This will be in conjunction with Adventure Paragliding. Fun mini comp, and guidance through the whole event. Call me for more info for all these events. 970-376-0495
This is just a few of the summer events posted so far. I will continue to update info as it comes available. Stay tuned!
