I was most impressed by the variety of soaring conditions
I read about during your flights. Never getting
above 3000 feet for some of your flights was an eye-opener for me.
That would be interesting!

And watching William Gawthrop from Avenal go across
the country was amazing (shameless plug). All of you may have
done more for soaring with this race than all the
paid advertising FBO's have done this year.

The whole idea is inspired. Kudos to you all.
