Fast run to Avila and a bit back

Most of our group bombed at the pass, but Ed and I carried on to Avila with around 2800m and some strong climbs and a 20km/hr wind.

The climbs were dramatic enought to fly a percentage back without turning, though wave and alto cu build up made things back towards the pass uglier by the minute.  Most of the comp wings were on the ground well before the return to the pass.  No evening flight as back winds.
