Good use of a classic day yesterday.

Superb conditions yesterday with the whole group over the Pass and at or near Avila and back some.  PB for Graham and a local PB for  Hans who made 92km of the return from Avila.  Even I managed to stay of the tea and biscuits for long enough to do a Tandem flight with Adrian to Avila.  (below).  Once again excellent conditions.  Transition conditions today so should be epic, tomorrow and Saturday less so depending upon the speed of the arriving cold fronts.

On the photo  below you can see the convergence south of Avila.  The fact that it set up to the south is the reason we landed at Avila rather than continuing into the quartering headwind which would have been slow.  The best option in these conditions is to fly back….or land for tea and biscuits!
