Rieti Italy

on August 6 2007

Yesterday the wind was blowing ; 20 kn withs gusts to 30 on the ground! Not good to let 54 young pilots start for an AAT in the mountains. Result after talking to the TC’s ; cancellation of the day!Good idea!

We went to Terni a bit of a bigger town 30 k north of Rieti.The wind was there as strong! The best gelatti [ice cream ] I ever eat was on the Piazza Europa in the valley and in Terni . Just delicious.

Today we try to fly again , I mean the pilots do.The weather is allright , not spectaculair but flyable. This is what you cannot say unfortunately of Ponciunai , where they have had only 2 days of flying during the EC. till now and the weather for this week does not look too good either.Look for results at their result site!

Today the big[ger] ships start in Issoudun for their EC.You can follow them on their site.

Cu next time , back on duty here in beautiful Rieti. You can follow “us” on the Rieti site. Here is the adress again. www.wgcrieti.it Click on WGC juniors. Meet you there. Ritz
