Our last day before the conference starts and still more people signing up to participate! The sky outside just got better and better and we couldn&#8217;t bear to spend the whole day indoors, so we sneaked out for a final fly before we&#8217;re housebound for 4 days. It was a south forecast, so always unpredictable, and there was strong north all the way there. On arriving at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.judithmole.net\/blog_map.html?mylat=42.009425&#038;mylong=2.604484&#038;mytext=Amer\" target=\"_blank\">Amer<\/a>, it was south. However, this was short lived and it turned west pretty much immediately. Mike, Nani, Lluis, Ivan, Marc and Sergi were already there and we drove up. <\/p>\n<p>On top it was clear that it was too far off and too gusty to fly. As often happens, there were trial riders in the quarry, practising jumps and leaps. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.judithmole.net\/blog_map.html?mylat=42.021700&#038;mylong=2.612554&#038;mytext=Santa Brigida Launch\" target=\"_blank\">Santa Brigida<\/a> seems to be a very popular spot for it. We&#8217;ve seen official team vehicles for the Swiss, Czech, Polish, British and Spanish teams there over the years. <\/p>\n<p>We sauntered over and watched them doing amazing scrambles up sheer blocks, jumps, balancing, etc. One rider seemed to really, really know what he was doing. When we saw his t-shirt, all became clear. He was multiple world champion Adam Raga. Nice of him and his mates to come along just to provide us with entertainment while it wasn&#8217;t flyable.<\/p>\n<p>Now it&#8217;s 18 hours a day in front of the computer for 96 hours from tomorrow am. We have 329 delegates from 16 countries and 10 different time zones. See ya when it&#8217;s all over!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.judithmole.net\/photo_galls\/020210\/index.html\"target=_blank> See photos of today.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A hectic day today.
