Alas, I'm going to Ridgely - gotta pick up a vario/airspeed sensor rig for the trike. Hoping to fly, though... - Hugh

Me, I think I'll fly Hyner all day sunday, then cloud dive monday and then fly the Pulpit in the late afternoon on the way back home.

L&V
Overcast
It's supposed to break up as the morning progresses.
Blip says 400fpm/23shear to 2500... weak and low at best. I expect we'll be flying all day, just not sticking.
Cheers

Anyone up for the Pulpit? W@5-10 forecasts usually
equate to ridge soarable up there, and I've seen
forecasts saying 60% clouds, so at least a bit of sun...
What do you say?

I could be up for it if we got enough interest to assure that everyone flies. We need to decide quickly, it's nearly 10:00 AM already.

Gary S, John M, Dan, and I are all headed for the Pulpit.
Gary's going to try to convince Joe S to give it a go, and
I'll make a few more calls.
Bit of a gamble... But hey, we're in the middle of a holiday
weekend! Come on up, it'll be fun!
