2ToFly.com - US Tour 2010 - Day 10

A forecast of NE, 5-15kmh with some cu at the top of lift of 3400m. Looked promising. The Oregon pilots were having an XC league meet together with a free flight festival for the 4 July weekend. Lots of paragliders and hang gliders everywhere.

We met up with Wade from Bend at Hadlyn launch above Paisley. Same cool deal with marking the launch, this time a huge "P" for paragliders, bit unfair on the hang gliders but. On launch we find Paul Murdoch, Rick and Hayden from Woodrat. Our guys are happy to join in on the XC task so we let the day take it's course.

A task from launch, a TP close by then 30km cross wind to goal. Murdoch and Haydn got away early whilst we got stuck on launch as it came over the back a little. Peter, Barry and Matt all got away. Murdoch threw his reserve but landed safely, right beneath Haydn and I though neither of us saw anything!!.

Matt andBarry made the first TP, Peter and Conrad both got to goal - Peter winning the day out of the Aussies
