Ridgely for 8/14
Looks like it won't be training hill teachable because of the SE winds and Ridgely is looking pretty good for Saturday, so I will most likely be there!

I'm having a hard time getting excited about Jack's given the forecast and the road-time,
and (at the moment) it looks like Highland has the sunniest forecast.... So I'm leaning that
way, even though it would mean an early departure to beat some of the shore traffic.
Will check again tomorrow AM.

Well Ridgely was only so so today though nice temps, mostly clear with some cumi in the distance. In attendance was Ward, Mark C, Luis, Wayne and me. Ward probably had the FOD of around a hour, I got 30 mins and others had multiple flights from sled to some soaring. There was a lot more wind on the ground (8 - 12) and in the air than expected.

I guess you'd say I had the luck of the tow yesterday. Zack towed me up at ~12:30 and I stayed up a little over 41 min with a highest gain of 3200 MSL. Here are some sprog shots.
