  The day started off blue but clouds rapidly developed with bases of 18,000+ Followed a cloud street up to the line and followed the same street south but it turned blue abeam Boulder. Got low over Blackhawk but managed to work back up. The rest of the flight was pretty uneventful. I climbed to 16,000 north of Estes which gave me final glide to Poudre and back to Gold Hill. 7k of sink forced me to take another thermal to obtain final glide.

  From Salida, task declared was Shavano, Tennessee Pass, Blanca Pk, Granite Dam, Salida. The start was so-so because of virga over Shavano, headed to the east side of valley and proceeded to 1st turnpoint. Turned south and picked up solid lift on the west side of the Sanrgris from Methodist to Blanca and back with no turns. Very good flt. Average speed was 79K, 3:38 duration for the entire flt.
 
5/19/2005 Ventus 2A 788 pts 297 sm
  Declared task gold hill, chugwater, evergreen, boulder. Task complete. Mileage claimed 297.2 points claimed 788, handicap is .884. Good cloud street to Haligan then things turned soft. Based were 13k but due to 18k west winds thermals were very ragged. Made the turnpoint at Chugwater and headed back to Evergreen. Had 6-8k sink trying to get back in the mountains. Got a last thermal over Ward and worked it to 15,000. From there to Evergreen and back to Boulder was pretty much a final glide. Fairly hard task to complete.

  Ahh Salida. Magnificent cruising out to Pikes Peak followed by a run through South Park to North of Leadville. Final turnpoint were at Monarch SKi Resort, with a run up to Buena Vista. Task time was 72 mph but seeng as I finished at 17,000 feet plus I went on for another 80 bonus miles out to near the Royal Gorge.
 
8/30/2005 Discus B 732 pts 295 sm
  There was lots of wind today and the key to my flight was to get high and stay above the turbulence (most of the time). Takeoff was to the west and I was able to release over 47th Street at 2000 ft and climb away. My completed task was Gold Lake, Buffalo Creek, Halligan Res, Marshdale with a finish at Boulder Hospital. Was able to fly up to Lyons for 23 additional undeclared miles.
 
4/18/2005 DG505-20m 198 sm
  Gold Hill, Horse Creek WY, Gold Hill for new Colorado multi-place 300Kspeed record. After being hammered on the final glide we were forced to take a slow climb just before the finish gate to squeak over the line.

  500KM Out and Return. Declared Gross Reservoir, a point just South of Lararamie Peak (WY) and return to Gross reservoir. Includes 312 declared and 9 undeclared miles. Some virga to penetrate on both legs, and weaker than expected conditions in some portions of the flight. Spectacular scenery up near Laramie Peak and the Laramie river canyon.
 
9/4/2005 Ventus B 842 pts 321 sm
  Declared and flew Maysville, Tenn. Pass, Mosca Pass, Granite Dam, Salida. Low save near Leadville. Ridge lift along Sangres.

7/6/2005 ASW 28 528 pts 197 sm
  Declared a 300K out and return starting at Gold Hill with the turn at Centenial, WY. It was a good day with easy glides between climbs averaging 77.76 MPH for 187 miles + 10 undeclared miles back to the airport. A couple of thunderstorms near Estes slowed my final glide a little.
 
4/3/2005 ASW 28 524 pts 186 sm
  Declared a start and finish at Gold Hill, 1st turn Halligan Resv, 2nd turn Conifer for a total declared 186 miles and a few undeclared miles returning to 1V5. It was another great soaring day, rotor, wave and thermal!
 
8/25/2005 ASW 28 493 pts 149 sm
  Declared Kosler Lake, Idaho Springs, Red Feather, Kosler Lake for a rather easy task but I started late and didn't know the weather was SO GOOD! After completing the task I flew to Bergen Park then to Carter Lake to burn off the excess altitude before landing.
 
5/22/2005 ASW 28 112 sm
  Declared Gold Hill, CO/WY line, Boulder but only made the first turn point. The clouds decided to leave at an inappropriate time and I limped into Owl Canyon. The CSA tow plane gave me a lift out of Owl Canyon and as I over flew Ft. Collins I saw Bob Caldwell landing. I got down to pattern altitude at Lazy W ranch east of Carter Lk and slowly gained enough altitude to make it to Longmont were I decided to land since I was once again at pattern altitude. After hitching a ride to Boulder from OE, I self retrieved. My question is do I get two airport bonuses and a bonus for self retrieve? Or a deduction for bad decisions? [Scorer's Answer: No]

  Declared Chugwater, WY and launched Last and Low, got off at 8300 not towing to the convergence. The tow line was building.. The one thing I forgot to check was available memory on the VL, bad flaw it does not wrap around and go over old traces like the Cambridge.. I got down to 7300 by two mile canyon and found an east breeze moving up the canyon and followed it to find good lift. Got high enough to move further in to Gold Hill for a start and great lift up to cloud base. I went west to see the other side of the convergence/wave and then headed North. OE and 7U were up by Horse Tooth not having great lift. They were wet!. I headed that way and when I got up to Halligan Res. Bob reported week lift out towards Chugwater so I set my sights on Laramie and then Laramie Peak. Abandoning the Chugwater task for exploration! Winds were strong from the West so I wanted to stay on the up wind side or the Laramie range North bound. I set my turn around time at 15:30 so 30 miles short of Laramie Peak I started home. I never got high, Nick Stong in his Jantar poked up to 18 so I was hoping for a nice wave home! Not that lucky. Poke and run all the way past the Puder where I thought I had home and then thought I might just make Chrisman at times! Over the ridge to Estes and poking around west slops looking to get back up I finally got a few bumps to bumble to Rollinsville and Mt Thoridin. Taking it up into a nice blue evening wave. Bob was turning Evergreen and running home and I thought I would just ride South in the wave till it sank and then turn and go North. I got almost to Baily and sure enough behind Evans it Sank. Headed north, around Carter res I had to watch the clock for sunset and went east. It was so calm I did speed/ Ld test on the glide home down 287. The trace on my VL stopped short of Laramie on the return . My WP trace shows it all but it is no good for the OLC:( I was hoping to beat 7U on OLC but bravo to bob on the declare and complete... All in all it was a nice flight especially with the new relief system :) 603K by SeeYou. I think my goal this year will be a 750 once. The next time i'll declare it! Making Laramie peak would add an other 100K. I should have left earlier! The thing I am most happy with is 22% turning.. I think I might be getting in tune with the N2!

  The weather information looked like a fair day (lower than desired inversion step in Skew-T) was ahead but I felt it would be better than predicted so declared a big 750km FAI triangle with a first turnpoint NE of Julesburg 176.4 miles from Boulder. The day was very promising but some spread out near Greeley looked was obvious on the way by. As it turned out the rates of climb and relatively low cloud base (7000 ft with 4000 ground) plus a high wind made it challenging to reach the first turn. That 176 miles took 3:10 minutes for a 55 +- speed, much to slow to complete a long task. So after the turn the game became trying to make it home. It was not to be as I landed in a field west of Greeley along the road and my crew (Brenda, Bob Epp and my two very bemused visiting relatives) arrived about 45 seconds after landing. Then there was the expensive but mandatory dinner for the crew at Johnsons Corner. Total flight distance 335 +- miles in 7:00 hours. Thanks to Al Ossario for staying in the air for relay, that was a big help. Thanks to Bob Epp, Brenda and the family for the retrieve. Special thanks to Rod Smythe for coming out to tow!

  This was the first day of Phil’s annual spring contest. I didn’t hear the tasking order so declared Lee Hill – Halligan – Conifer – Lee Hill for my 300K diamond goal. I launched at noon and powered back to the Peak to Peak highway and shut down at about 10000 ft. I struggled for more than an hour before finally going through the start point. Two highlights of the flight. While northbound I got low just north of Horsetooth Res (9700 ft) but connected with a flat land thermal that got me back to 14,000. On returning to the finish I couldn’t stay above my 1000m altitude restriction. I flew through the finish line to low and then circled over the mouth of Boulder Canyon for about 30 minutes. I had finally given up and turned to the airport. Crossing over the foothills I connected with 3.5kt thermal, got to about 10,800 and went through the finish line at 10,793. Moral of the story don’t give up. Claiming Diamond Goal and 5 hr duration to complete Gold Badge.

  The Blipmap predicted start of lift between noon and 2pm with BLtop at about 14k. I waited until 1pm to launch and was soaring at 7500ft. Declared Gold Hill, Horse Tooth, Blackhawk, Goldhill. Thought the winds were only about 260@14 there was wave mixed with the thermal activity. Wave increased later in the afternoon. I got low (8800) on the return from Horse Tooth near Carter Lake. Worked two spots of lift to 12,000 and then was in wave and basically no turns down to Black Hawk. Flew through the finish point and continued to Carter Lk for extra points. By now there was solid wave lift from Carter Lk down past the east side of Vance Brand and back to Boulder.
 
7/2/2005 DG808-18m 62 pts 77 sm
  Declared Lee Hill – ColoWyo – Conifer – ColoWyo – Lee Hill for my 500k. Lift going north to ColoWyo was not well organized. Since I saw a couple of good looking cu’s just northeast of the turnpoint I decided to go for the turnpoint and then tank up just past it. Started towards the turnpoint at 14k, passed through it 11K and just kept on going down, about 50 miles with little burbles but nothing to get me back up. I finally turned out towards the flatlands but when I got down to 7500 ft started the Iron Beast for a save. First time I have started the engine in ANGER to finish a flight. Lesson learned – it is very hard to spot out landing sites while in the air. Though my map shows Livermore and North Pouder, ¾ and 3.5 miles from my flight line, I was unable to see them from the air. I could clearly see Christman but it was outside of final glide range when I did a re-light. Suggestion to self is to really watch for these different landing fields when you have lots of altitude in case you need them another day. Maybe a road trip on a non fly day?

  A sunny Saturday at our favorite gliderport. A morning full of students flown and an afternoon of promising skies in front of us. 'Want to go fly?' I asked Roger Dalke, the morning towpilot. 'Sure!' he responded. So we prepped KK and launched. Releasing over Nugget Ridge we sought lift there, then at Lee Hill followed by Gold Hill. There we found a good thermal and started out North. Our progress was good and after a few stops for altitude we found Carter Lake off the starboard bow. The clouds we were chasing continued North, so did we. Abeam Loveland the clouds stopped and a large blue expanse stretched out before us. We were comfortably above our glideslope back to Boulder and I wanted to stay that way, so we waved goodbye to Horsetooth Reservoir and headed South. Before long I was glad of the extra altitude I had in reserve as we encountered enough sink that I was happy we had Longmont between us and home. A good thermal south of Carter Lake and I was breathing more easily - we had Boulder easily made. Once back in our own portion of the Front Range we continued South to the mouth of Eldorado Canyon taking in the Flatirons. Roger, being a mountaineer, was introducing me to the different peaks on a first name basis. A short glide home, some spiral descending turns and a standard pattern brought us back to terra firma some 2 hours 18 minutes after to had left it.

  The day dawned perfect but I was supposed to work, of course, since it was a Monday. However, a review of the forecasts said it would be awesome soaring so my gear got loaded just in case. A few wispy CU's at 10:00 AM were spotted from my office window and my work day was through. A number of other pilots were flying that day and big goals were declared. At the encouragement of all I declared Lee Hill, Nathrop (south of Buena Vista), Lee Hill for 199.8 statute miles out and return. If I made this it would qualify as Gold Distance and Diamond Goal. Pretty ambitious as I don't think I had been out of glide of Boulder before. But I figured if I landed out a hundred miles away it wasn't much different than landing out 20 miles away. The day turned out to be great. I started fine but I left a thermal at 12K to start low. That was a mistake as I had to flail around for about 45 minutes to get back up on course. Bob Carl (7U) flew a similar course but was way ahead of me. Everyone else went north. A cloud street was headed south along a line about 10 miles east of the divide which I followed until I was abeam of Evans and high. The route I had planned to fly was across the north end of South Park so I would have Silver Heels as an alternate since Gunnar Blanke landed there last year and Bob Carl knew the way there by road. But there was NOTHING happening cloud-wise that way. I continued south along the east side of the valley under good clouds and then deviated SW across the valley again following good clouds right toward my turn point. I suspect that I was following a convergence line marked by a cumulus cloud street at least on the north-south course. I was flying directly into a 17kt wind (SeeYou shows the wrong wind if you open my .igc file). I had to cross South Park at about the widest point and know it is a notorious sink hole. But my trusty cloud street went straight toward the Arkansas Valley. I made the turn and now was running with a crankin' tail wind under great clouds again. I flew much more aggressively on the return and averaged 80kts. Most of the return was dolphin flight above 17K. I got final glide at MC 4 just south and east of Kenosha Pass and I smoked it home ( at least it was very fast for me) with ground speeds frequently above 100kts. In retrospect, the success of this flight was more due to good fortune than my piloting skills. It could not have been a better day for this route. Once on course I basically didn't get below 16K. Climb rates were 6kts+ with frequent shots of 10kts. An experienced pilot with water probably would not have turned a single 360 from Eldora to Nathrop to finish and set a new speed record (and I am not exaggerating). I want to thank all those who have helped and encouraged me along the way. Note: 125 bonus points for silver distance and altitude, gold distance, gold climb and diamond goal

  The flight was on Friday, July 1, 2005. It was supposed work day but the forecast looked good so I opted for an extended 4th of July weekend and went to the airport. It was the best day in Boulder in a month. The lift was regular but varied between 3kts and 10kts with heavy sink in between. I saw over 10kts of sink on the averager regularly. I declared 300km from Gold Hill to Halligan Res to Conifer to Gold Hill. The flight turned out to be pretty easy (at least it seems that way while I write this), however, punching into 10kts of sink while watching my glide home disappear caused a major pucker factor for me. There was always lift past the sink but the thought of plummeting at that rate while over inhospitable terrain was a stressor. As usual I was slow going out until I got my confidence up and then pushed harder. I find widening my working altitude band difficult until I get running. Once I loosened up I managed to have a pretty clean flight until I had to dive into a line of virga above Conifer. I left lift at 16K and lost a bunch of vert going into and back out from the turn. The flight back was pretty uneventful but had to fight heavy sink again try to get to Gold Hill high enough to finish.

  With 5 days left in Summer I thought the chance of me flying the Diamond Goal/Gold C distance were slim to none but I always declare something on every decent day because you never know ? The morning declaration was Lee Hill - Bailey - Red Grass - Lee Hill but things looked pretty Blue and the smart money (Colin, Gunnar, Bob) were all heading North so I figured I might as well at least have company so declared Gold Hill - Horse Creek and back for no other reason then Colin said try that. In usual Graham fashion I then fumbled around with glider trailers, volksloggers, talked to friends etc. before launching way late into the blue. I at least had the forecast and things didn't sound great with nothing notable except high west winds aloft. It was nearly 1:30 before I started and it was definitely choppy with what felt like combo wave/thermal. I proceeded North with no gliders in sight and way behind the "pack". Around twin sisters it felt like washing machine rotor so I headed west and connected with what I assume was wave as it was big and smooth I was then able to continue North with more altitude and speed. Just North of Christman I hit the first big blue hole of the day, it looked like my best option was to head North-West, try and stay over the high ground as long as possible and hopefully connect with the clouds that looked like they were over Hwy 80 with a bail to Owl or Cheyene decent outs. The clouds worked and got me to 17k and I floated the next 25 miles through blue to the turnpoint where there was a mild thermal which gave me a chance to think. Then back through the blue but this time up wind and finally connected again below 12k. Ride home was ok with convergence lift in the blue, the big problem was it was becoming more and more obvious that the day was dying and that I could make 1V5 easily but not Gold Hill. What can you do but try, I made it to Lee Hill at about 9k just after 5:30 and found zero so hung out on the rocks, finally finding a ridge working and clawed up to 10 and then miraculously into decent lift (and different air), got through the line into decent lift so added some bonus miles (gotta help SSB in OLC). Lessons learned: When Colin says "Follow me" don't launch an hour and half behind him, I didn't see a single glider the entire flight, they were all probably in Wyoming while I was fiddling with WinPilot. Given my druthers I wished I spent the time getting a much lower start/finish point (like a point in space near Lee Hill). Next time I'll probably remember to set my final glide on "start - 1000m" or write down the start height so I don't have to get so religious looking for the final thermal. Major lesson learned: listen to those more experienced on where to go, I'm at the point where my favorite advice is go North or go South (there really aren't many other choices from Boulder are there?). I planned on heading South but was open minded as it all looked blue. Hearing everyone else was going North was good enough for me (they were right too it's a rare day that the Owl guys fair better then the Kelly guys). Also when you are about to take the plunge through the blue hole its really comforting to hear Gunnar say "Hotel Golf, How ya doing?" it makes you feel not so all alone after all ! Note: 50 bonus points for gold distance and diamond goal.

  A wimpy short flight, but I started late and wanted to get in the game for the club contests. Gotta start somewhere so pre-declared the silver and flew that, next time I'll try Gold but at least this finishes off the Silver C. Added an extra Jog over to Estes park for fun and down near Golden and back after the "task". Terrific day, I needed to start 2 hours earlier. Also uploaded to OLC. SSB is doing very well and it feels good to contribute.

  Diamond Goal attempt, nobody around except Gunnar and he's going to paint the shack but will crew for me if I'm going to give this a shot. Looks like it is going to OD very early. The trek South to turnpoint starts slow but gets better the further South I go, it seems like a real shame to head North on the declared task when it looks great to the South. Anyway great speed along the divide but more and more virga and general OD everywhere, around Poudre zero lift just calm for miles, time to let the big wings do their trick so drift North in nothing until Christman can only just be made and bale. Run South gets better the further South I go. Fun flight but a bust in terms of badges, I definitely owe Gunnar a retrieve for offering to hang on a pretty marginal day.

  Declared task Miller, Guymon, Middlewater Ranch, Miller. Completed. Good lift up to cloudbases around 11K until 25 miles sw of Guymon, which was blue. Limped around guymon before finally getting back into good lift around Stratford. Pressed to Middlewater, great lift at the turnpoint at 7:00 PM for final glide. I thought the task was incomplete because I missed the FAI sector at Middlewater, however, recent changes to FAI Sec 3 now allow for 0.5km radius turnpoints. (you sacrifice 0.5km on the task each time you enter or exit a turnpoint). Total task distance w/ penalty is 300.4 km.
 
4/1/2005 ASW 20 207 pts 77 sm
  The idea was to complete my silver distance, using a remote start at Gross Res. and remote finish at Owl Canyon (declaring this way gave me the opportunity to try the return home). Unfortunately, didn't make it all the way back, landed at Ft. Collins Downtown. The real issue was that it was a good wave day... but Owl Canyon is far enough back that I couldn't reconnect with the good lift (compounded by the lenticulars cutting off the sun). I did complete the task though, and my first off-field landing couldn't have gone smoother (thanks Gunnar!). Note 25 bonus points for completing a badge leg.
