travel time to gliding site / club?
One way: About 1hr 15 minutes, if I don't stop for coffee and a
biscuit. But, if flying that day and not fettling, I'll stop and fill up the gas tank just before arriving at the airport so the "retrieval" car has a full tank of gas. That might add another 5 minutes or so (never timed it.) Distance: 57 miles (91 km) each way. Ray |

OK my 2-cents,
50 minutes each way, add 10min. and a bunch of $ for gas. 1/2 on 75mph Freeway and the other half on fine Colorado asphalt rural roads with 14k Pikes Peak in the window. A very reasonable commute to access the fine high altitude soaring in the Colorado Rockies to the West or the Flat plains to the East of my club, Black Forest Soaring Society. Rick-21 |

One mile round trip. I know I don't deserve it, but someone has to
suffer with all that extra free time. Horst OS |

Hi everyone :-) GR8 to have service 'back'! Question for any / all interested: What is your travel time / distance (round trip?) from home to gliding / soaring club - site? Not that will make any difference to actual journey I need to take but knowing what fellow enthusiast 'endure' to enjoy our fantastic sport / hobby will probably make me feel 'much better' (s a factor in choosing which club to join here in South Africa)! From my home (Benoni) must allow 4 hrs (approx 350 Km) average for any of the 'local' clubs... Thanks in advance. FLY SAFE! very best regards Nigel R 45 miles, 50 minutes each way from home to Cambridge Soaring Centre. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | org | Zappa fan & glider pilot |

About 35 miles, 40 minutes each way to my club. There is another site I go
to that is about 220 miles away, but I only tend to go there for 3 day weekends. Steve Leonard Kansas Soaring Association |

travel time to gliding site / club?
If I'm at work, I can be at the field in 10 minutes. If I want to go
to the commercial operator rather than my club, I can walk over in about 2 minutes. From home it takes me 20 minutes to get to the club. Now, if I only had time to fly... -- BSC |
