Bright 321, Task 3 Final Day

Fantastic conditions today - 84k race starting at Blackfellas to Smoko, then with goal at Milawa Airstrip. No airspace issues today as the climbs were topping out under 8000 feet! No clouds were found to guide us and once we got onto the flats it really slowed down and if you didn't shift gears, you would dirt.

I was totally underdressed and spent most of the day shivering in my shorts - and was glad to just squeek into goal behind the lead gaggle.

Steve Nagle had a reserve ride to the slopes of Mt Buffalo, but he and his wing are fine, and a pilot had a hard landing at goal and went to hospital to get checked out, we hope no injuries result. Craig Collins won the day and therefore the comp, which means he got paid $1000 per day to fly in this comp!

Heike won the female class, and gets $200 per day for flying the comp... Today Heike beat me by only one second, which is hardly a beating!

Full Results can be found here.

Free flying has returned to Bright for now.
