We had a schedule to adhere to, just like any other soaring contest.
My observation was that if we had the opportunity to to sit around for
4-5 days at each site waiting for good weather, it may have been
possible to soar most of the way.

I second DJ's comments about it all being worth it, though. Lots of
fun, did plenty (but never enough) of soaring, and met some great
folks along the way.

Thanks to the Payne's, Murray's and others who helped make this all
work.

And driving.

Its a cross country sailplane trailer race with the odd spot of flying
thrown in for good measure.
