Today looked really promising for some long distance racing. A task was set to take the race 78k's into the mountains. I had a great start and was fully in the lead of the race with a hand full of other pilots until the first turn point 25k down the course ling. Most all of us got stuck under an inversion layer and sunk out, bummer. The day was not a total loss though; we flew over some beautiful terrain, through a cloud or two, and into a picturesque valley. I managed to take a couple nice pictures as well just after the start of the race; (hint) if you click on the pics they get bigger.

The air based shots were taken today, the other two were taken a few days ago on one of Killarney's fabulous green grass launches.
