What a day!  That was the largest turnout I've seen.  50+ pg's and 15 or so hg's (didn't get a good look at the Eliminator launch).  I tried to catch Brendan by burning through 2k feet of altitude by gliding from RR to Montecito Pk.  He was part of a good gaggle over the top but I was way low coming in and despite a non-stop climb with a 1500 ft. gain they were all gone by the time I hit the wispies.  Bounced east for a while debating whether to push on or take the ride from Padaro.  Opted for the ride with Magic and Dilley to Parma, then drove to Ojai and picked up Susan before scooping up the Spin Doctor and his tandem passenger Barb at East Beach on the way to Ron's open house.  Delicious home-made tamales and endless beverages capped off a perfect day.
