And they're off.............to Greenville, SC for the first Old Bird race of the season. My birds are flying around 190 miles. This is a new race station, so we don't have the GPS coordinates yet, but 190 miles is close. All week long the weather web sites have been predicting SW winds, which would have been perfect for the first race. Now, they've changed the winds to a NNE and East in the afternoon, which is a direct headwind.
 Although, a East wind could help us some. Guess we'll see what happens.

Good luck Renee! It just started raining here and my birds are still flying in it. Maybe that'll help if anything like this ever happens while their in a race?
 I hope everyone's birds makes it back okay. The birds at our club had to listen to us talking all night while they could have been on a trailor and on their way, and now they have to fly through this! Poor birds.

Well you had it off better than we did. It didn't get to us until about 12! I'm not sure how the lights were working. I was busy taking pictures and my dad was carrying crates, so we don't remember.
We still had a good time waiting though. I made the best of it by talking to the birds

 Everett hoped they were good enough to keep working until daylight. Surely someone will get that taken care of before next week end.

Yeah I don't think it went too smoothly last night. Hopefully everything will be fixed and back on track next weekend. And maybe the weather will be a little nicer?

Seems something always happen the first week.
So, I'm just waiting to get my birds home from THIS week end. THEN I'll worry about next week end. If they don't make it home today, there won't be a next week end for my birds.
