Brekky as usual then 10:15am departure to launch.Timely arrival for 11:15am on west launch, preparation then ready to fly at 12:00pm
More light cycles and a blue day, some cu's popping way in the distance on some high points. We set a goal of Riley’s, 117km downwind
We launched and climbed together in scrappy lift then a solid core came through as we all hit 3000m, time to go across the sink hole on the leesside of pine towards the high desert. Very heavy sink which grounded Barry and very nearly Peter and Matt. Conrad shrewdly kept a little to the south and missed the worse of it. 5kms out and the sink turned to lift with a broad band of climbs to 3600m.
Matt flew 55km then got sucked down by a big round crop field, he managed a PB of 3,600m, 12,000’ height.
Peter took 3 PB's - distance of 104km, height gain of 3600m and duration of 6 hours
Conrad made 112km, just short of goal and I made 107km.
Barb expertly found us all for a long drive back.
To late for the glass off so back to Bend for some supper and sleep
