Ridgely Sunday 11/14

[Matthew]

Going to Ridgely for the last day of the regular season there-- highs in the low 60s and winds straight down the runway ESE.

Anyone else???

Fun day to end the season at Highland. Joun M. had the flight of the day with about an hour and 3k altitude. I got a half hour and above tow a couple of times. I was drifting ENE away from the field and decided to come back-- MISTAKE! Found lots of sink and a couple of ladies working light lift. Tried to jon them and failed. Me and the lovely ladies all landed in succession with Karen getting a 35 minutes and Heather S. getting about 40 minutes. Amy (geesh there are a lot of women flying these days!) also had a soaring flight. A bunch of others joined the half-hour plus soaring club-- including Steve K. and Carlos and Luis. Jon and Greg Sessa and a few Ridgely Regulars also flew... plus a few tandems.

Karen and I relit for a very buoyant end of day sled-- lots of zero snk-- eeked out almost 20 mintues.

We finished the day with dinner at Rustico's Restaurant in Stevnsville with Calros, Luis, Jon, Amy and Greg.

Had another fun day at Ridgely! Got a nice extended ride on my first flight, after finding lift over the dragonfly hangar, with the highlight being a bald eagle that joined me for a short time. Second flight was a nice smooth sled. Awesome to see all the gliders out there!
Ended the evening with some good company and some fine dining at an Italian place in Stevensville.

I too enjoyed the last day at Ridgely.

Thanks to John M. for allowing me to use his F2 170.

For the first time, I found lift and seemed to be able to stay in it- I like that area above the hangar region!

Will be looking forward to coming back out in March.
