The first event for the Northern California Cross Country League for 2008 will be held on 29th and 30th March at Potato Hill. The league is open to all pilots- hang glider and paraglider pilots are all welcome to attend. They should be happy thermaling with other pilots and able to land safely not necessarily in the designated landing zone. If you wish to attend please meet at 9.30 am in the LZ by Fouts Springs on Saturday morning. All pilots must fly with a serviceable radio, reserve and GPS to be scored.

There is a website devoted to the league: www.santacruzparagliding.com where you can find all the information you need for the league. If you wish to compete please fill out the registration forms (available online at http://www.santacruzparagliding.com/downloads.html) and email them to me ASAP. Bring a completely waiver (which can also be found on the website) to the pilot meeting in the LZ on Saturday morning. You should also upload waypoints into your GPS unit before you come. Software and the waypoints file can be found at the league website at the downloads page. The costs for each race is $10 per day for preregistered pilots and this is refundable if the task gets cancelled. For those pilots not preregistered the cost per task is $15.

If you wish to car pool, figure out places to eat or camp, please register with the yahoo groups (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SFBAPAXC/) so that you can co-ordinate with other pilots.

The Cross Country league is an informal series of cross country competitions running from March through to October held at flying sites within driving distance of the Bay Area. The league is set to help pilots of all abilities in improving their flying skills by flying set courses with other pilots. These are essentially a fly in with a mission.

If you have any questions please let me know.
