Today is the day. With less than 40 days to go until the gun goes
off in Salzburg it’s time to pack the bags and head to Europe, where I’ll have a
full month to keep up the physical training and fly as much of the course as
possible with Bruce Marks, my air-support guru in the race. I’ve got a quick
stop at the Mountain Film Fest in Telluride this weekend with a couple
screenings of North of Known, then Monday I’m on a plane. The flying in Europe
all spring has been epic which has frankly been tortuous to watch. Sun Valley
has been kind to us after a massive winter with a lot of flyable days, but we
haven’t had a big day or an easy day yet. Ratty thermals, lots of wind, low
base - ie: perfect training!
