Not a lot of positives about today.
The weather was complete rubbish but we were eventually sent off on task C of about 100km, the minimum allowable in a Grand Prix. It was difficult just staying up, let alone reaching the maximim start height. In the end, those that started with enough height to clear enough ridges to where it was soarable got around, the rest never made it past 20km.
Poor old Bruce struggled around the task but it appears he has done a Mike Young and missed the start line.
Marta and Ziggy will be pleased to know that XM performed flawlessly as soon as the "take me home" button was pressed.
They say it might rain tomorrow.

Beautiful warm day here today but the skies were 'claggy' until about 5pm when blue skies appeared! All good fun here though - the Grand Prix format allows spectators great viewing of the race. It's my turn for a blog entry tomorrow. Woohoo :)
ReplyDeleteWe are very pleased, Graham. XM also saved my butt in France and thanks to her I made it just in time for the final dinner. Ziggy, once he heard the engine noise on the radio, was waiting for me with an already opened bottle of red.
ReplyDeleteWe are keeping our fingers crossed for you!
