EJ Bowl to Fillmore
about 44 1/2 miles

Went to SB without checking the weather ( to fly the training hill if nothing else), and lucked into a really nice day. Caught the full Eagle Van just in time. Conditions on launch were perfect...clouds forming at 3500 out front and blowing in at ~10mph. I hit all the typical low points, crossing the power lines just below the ridge. Max altitude was ~4900 at West Divide and the Chief's spine. The thermals started getting blown apart as I went through Ojai. I lost my patience climbing up Santa Paula ridge, but was able to surf downwind across the face and make it to the Sespe river bed. 4 hrs.
