Friday Feb 23 Woodstock

Post by Joe Schad »

Might be a Woodstock day Friday. Today looks light but might be flyable. Lots of mud on the hike in today.

I'm probably too lazy to ever carry my glider in when the road's closed, but just on the off-chance...Assuming I figure out how to attach my big-ass glider wheels to my downtube without them rolling off, would that work as a viable glider dolly, considering the trail to launch? Is my basetube too wide for the trail? Is the trail too rutted even for trainer wheels?

Dave,
I felt the same way before. One time I decided to try it and it was great. The one thing that I would not do is to take the glider by myself, what work for me was one glider two people, two trips. Make sure you everything with you and can pack in your harness.

It is looking rather strong for Friday. May not be flyable.
