Date: 6-10-2001 Distance: around 250km (155sm) total Glider: G102 (SS) Predeclared: Yes (Silver) Turnpoints (all): 1V5, Idaho Springs, Estes, Red Feathers Lakes, Estes, 1V5 Turnpoints (for silver): Idaho Springs (remote start), Estes (remote finish) IGC track: 20010610-1.igc
Description:
Released just above pattern altitude. Took forever to get altitude and to get going towards Idaho Springs (remote start). Flew over continental divide and Longs to Estes Park (remote finish). From Estes, flew to Red Feathers Lakes. Conditions deteriorated in the direction towards 1V5. Flew around virga, but it still got me and I lost 2-3Kft for that. Managed to get 1500' in a thermal just over Estes which got me back home. This flight gets me silver distance, duration, altitude, and gold altitude.
