The Bicester Regionals 2008

Sunday-1 News

9:00am And we have a task or two for each class. The sun is shining and everyone is happy. We expect to launch all 76 competitors today (sorry for such a small field this year, but a couple dropped out at the last minute).

11:00 And everyone is gridded and the tasks are as follows:
Open = BIE (Bicester East) - NEW (Newbury) - DEV (Devizes) - AYL (Aylesbury) - B14 (airfield center) = 217.2Km
Sport = BNW (Bicester North West) - ETT (Ettington) - WCB (Winchcomb) - MUR (Mursely) - B14 (airfield centre) = 166.2Km
First launch provisionally set for 12:00
Just waiting for the sniffer to get up and tell us how great it is now.

11:45am First launch at 12:00 for the Sports class

And due to a sudden change in the weather, we are re-tasking now.

Sport will get a new task.
Open moved onto their B task - Bicester East - Chievely - Shrivenham - Aylesbury - Bicester = 157.6Km
14:00 Sniffer has been up for 2:30 so far.

14:40 Unfortunately the local weather is cycling too fast to give all competitors a fair chance of soaring, and sadly we have had to scrub both classes. But there are plenty more days to still go.
