Anytime. As early as 10am till who knows when. BB sent me a text this morning but I've yet to hear back. I suspect 10am might be easier for me than
him - he's the one at the wedding party tonight revpaul - 22-6-2012 at 02:16 PM

MB, Is it best to just call you when I get to Leduc? I won't be there until 11 or so.macboy - 22-6-2012 at 11:55 PM
I'll have my cell with me. I'll U2U you details.macboy - 23-6-2012 at 08:05 PM
Really good to see so many people flying together today- glad we were able to get together. I'd say it's a safe bet that well over a thousand people
got a chance to watch us today and learn a bit about the sport. Now if only I could have done something about the zero or hero winds. Once again
Canuck rocks the joint and likely logs the most miles AND fewest complaints
Sadly the GoPro wasn't running so we'll never know how high I was lofted.....got some good stuff from under the Brooza and the neighbor that was out
snapping pics will probably burn a pile of nice ones for us - I'll send them out.
Hope everyone made it home safe and sound. Till next time.....macboy - 23-6-2012 at 08:50 PM

It was great to see all of you again and meet BigBear. You have a great spot there and it was great to have 26C sunshine with no bugs (rained all day
in Calgary). Other than the 10ish yr old boy riding his bike all over the place under our kites :karate: Edmontonians seemed to be pretty good about
mixing with kiters.
a BIG thanks to Kathy and Kelly for burgers and beer. I was a little more sore and stiff after the 3 hour drive home this time, but not hungry.kiteboyza - 24-6-2012 at 08:33 AM
sounds like I missed out, were you kiting in Kellies field?revpaul - 24-6-2012 at 09:16 AM

thanks again for burgers and 'refreshments'.
