We had another beautiful day for racing.  The release was in the low 50's.  The air was nice and crisp.  Clear, with slight breeze.  Along the way birds encountered some tule fog in El Centro, approx. 100 miiles from the loft.  There were some variable winds  throughout the mountains coming home.  The first group some 20-30 were out front by a few mintues.  Birds came home in small groups throughout the day.  

We race in 2 weeks.  We will be train another 3x 75 miles.  We will start back on the road the later part of the week.  Currently raining for next 3 days.

Entry sheets were emailed.  We ask all breeders to fill out required info and please return within the week.  

 

Please call with any questions or concerns.

It was a Beautiful day.  There were variable winds in the desert, with stronger winds the last 40 miles.  The birds did come home broken up with a few hundred clocking within a few minutes.  

The 190 mile race scheduled for next week.  I will be emailing entry sheets the later part of the week.  After the 190 mile race we ask you return entry sheet along with your fees.

 

We have some rain and strong winds coming in the next few days so we will train accordingly.

 

Please call with any questions or concerns.

Training moving along nicely.  We plan to toss again on Monday providing winds calm down.  High winds currently in the mountains.  We plan to do a 90 mile, and 110 mile this upcoming week.  The first Leg of Average speed the 140 mile  on  11/2 or 11/3.  

 

**Best of luck to Hoosier and all those participating.

Today's toss was cancelled.  I waited until 10:00 for the overcast to lift.  It did not.  The temperature in the desert was reaching high eighties.  I made the call to return  home.  If things could not get even more messed up, my truck quit on me driving home.  High pressure oil pump failure caused the truck to completly shutdown while driving 60 mph.  Fortunately, I was going up the grade and eventually came to a stop.  Lucky for me, I had cell service and AAA was able to tow truck and trailer home safely.  Overcast/fog/low clouds still present.

Training on hold most likely until Monday.  Thuderstorms for tomorrow and possible overcast conditions again Sunday.  

 

PLease call with any questions.

Oct-10-2022

We had our first toss in the desert yesterday.  It's always a challenge for the birds the first few times.  Later in the week, we plan on starting with mass releases.  Training will now change up to 1-2 days off then we train.  

 

*Please keep in mind we will be emailing Entry Sheets this year.  We will need everyone who is not attending to send Entry fee along with Entry form filled out.  Sending Entry form back is required.  

Those coming for the race can fill out Monday night.

 

Good luck to all of you in the OLR in the weeks to come.
