Default Glider rating near Sacramento

RG I'm thinking about getting a glider rating for my BFR this
RG summer. I talked with one place in Truckee but was told it
RG would take an entire week to do. Are there any places to do
RG this that specalize in BFRs such that you can fly much more
RG per day in order to be done in a few intense days? I just
RG can't justify being away for an entire week for a BFR.

I won't answer your question, rather suggest maybe you should look at
this another way. Would you justify a week away for a great vacation?
That's the way to see the Truckee glider rating: a week or so to do
something completely absorbing and different than your normal
activities, cleanse out all the old cobwebs and put some new things in
there. It won't be relaxing but will be exhilerating, and what better
locale than Truckee. I got a glider ride there some years ago and
can't imagine better scenery.
