If you want to go up, pull back on the controls. If you want to go down, pull back farther.

I'm really looking forward to this
Stopped by today
Should be good food and the grass strip is looking good :)
The weather this time of year is just great flying.

Re: Party at Mack Mesa October 5/6

A 24 hour mountain bike race - as in we race 24 hours straight - most laps wins. I do it as a relay team of 5 (shotgunning beers between laps) so it's not as crazy as it sounds. There are people who ride solo for 24 hours in a row however - but they don't drink nearly as much beer as we do - so we look down our noses at them.

You should fly over and have a look. The kids race is the 24 Minutes of Moab - lots of fun, too.

Remember when I met you at Mack? I was there for the 24 Hours of Fruita - which is at the state park 1 mile from C07.

Re: Party at Mack Mesa October 5/6

I'll try, but I need to be back at the race by 12 for the start - and I need a ride from CNY. This will be my first long cross country in the GCBC - I'm hoping for good weather. And the POTUS TFR gods will let me escape from LMO thursday morning.

If that includes meals, count me in. How about a lunch run to Gateway on Friday?

How about everyone arrives at Hubbard at 12:30 or would you like to meet at Pinyon first and fly as a group down the canyon? What time should we plan on moving into your place?
