We ran the truck and a full car up for the evening fun.  Still cycling up at 4:30 and Matt H topped at around 12.5k in buttery smooth air.  Most of the others followed and I think we had 6 make the glide to Ojai including a bunch of first timers, Stan, Magic, Robin, Matt.  Randall landed at Rose Valley, Joel at CalTrans, and Marty B at the Sand Pile.  Sadly a few of us got skunked by the North wind that eventually spilled over.  For these Pine glass-offs it's important to launch when it's good and have your stuff ready to go when you step into the launch window.  I'm encouraging people to line check and clip in up on the road. We're going again at the next available opportunity!
