Three of us checked out 5 different weather sites for tomorrow (Friday). Most, not all, showed a little sunshine for our release. We feel like this is our best chance. There has been rain, or low heavy clouds and wind, every day. The weather also looks sketchy for a few days afterward. My daughter lives in Lawton and confirmed it's been cloudy and rainy every morning for the last week.

Good luck to everyone!

Tomorrow (Wednesday) is one week since our 150 mile race. We are ready, and the birds are ready, to fly the 225 mile race. The weather report in Lawton Oklahoma shows rain, thunderstorms, clouds and strong winds for the rest of the week. We will race on the first reasonable day.

The ineligible birds have been removed from our 150 mile race results. 

No more birds have clocked.

We will fly the 225 mile race the middle of the week if the weather allows.

We had rain all afternoon so we will have to check for late birds tomorrow.

We want to fly the 225 mile race in about 1 week.

We had rain here this morning so we had to bring the clock inside.

I will run all the birds over the antennas this afternoon to see if any birds returned today. We still have 7 activated birds out.

The birds had a sunny sky at the release. About 45 minutes into the race, they encountered clouds that soon became low heavy clouds. I think this bothered a lot of the birds. It stayed that way for the rest of the way home.   

It's been over 2 weeks since our 100 mile race. This was the first decent day we've had, so we had to go with it.

The race update will happen after lunch tomorow. 

We had birds coming right up to dark, so we should get more home in the morning.

A couple videos of the first birds returning today have been posted on our Facebook Page.

The basket list is posted for the 150.91 Mile Race.

Good luck to all!

We are hopeful we can fly our 150 mile race on Wednesday. Right now they are predicting left side winds, like we had on the 100 mile race, but not as strong.

We had the last $200 race fee check arrive, so we will add this to the prize pool.  

The page below, with the race payouts listed, has been adjusted. We added $100 to 14th place on the 225 mile race and $100 to the 14th place on the 325 mile race.

Good luck to everyone Wednesday!

There was 80% chance of thunderstorms this morning at our 150 mile station.

It was raining here again this morning (Friday). We had a little more rain in the afternoon.

We were able to flag the birds anyway.

Tomorrow morning there is a 71% chance of thunderstorms at our 150 station at 8:00 and 9:00.

We continue to wait for an acceptable day to release the birds from 150 miles.
