Woodstock Thursday

Post by stevek »

Gary and I did Woodstock today. It was good. Winds at launch and in the LZ (bridge field) were fine but it was pretty strong aloft. I got to 56 over at one point -- shy of base but I was going up so fast I was afraid of being carried up into the cloud before I could react. Great fun but the trip back to the ridge was a long, tiring slog against what had to be a 30 mph headwind. Rinse, repeat.
