NEW

After several days of launching ahead of the local comp, we went to a new site (to us) directly behind Roldanillo to the west. 

A tandem took off early and got up to cloud base just a few hundred above us at 6000'. The glide to the city looked far away but after flying a while it was clear we could make it. Several other pilots displaced by the comp were there too. 

Going north proved more difficult for me on tandem with Elizabeth, who flew with Bradley the day before. We managed to cross to the first ridge, and then the second, but it was tricky to get back all the way to our town. We landed short, packed up and got a ride within 15 minutes from retrieve. Nice!

They dropped us at the lunch spot where we ate to excess, realizing the others had crossed into the flats and gone big (we hope). 

Back at the hotel now, showered, napped, and unable to leave the fan above my bed.  The pool guy just added a bunch of chlorine, so tomorrow looks good for a swim! Ahhhh. Cheers!
