500 Mile race

Was concerned with the weather forcast so I only sent two birds.  One bird never got to race last year due to the moult and he was my first bird back. He didn't win but placed well.  I think my other bird got blown right on by and had to fly back so he didn't come until the next morning.  All in all I was real pleased with yearlings flying this distance.  Really heavy wind from the south which made for an amazing race.  The winner for our club and also the Combine flew at 2100 YPM which made for 500 miles in 7 hours....near record speed.  Back to 150 this week and it's my turn to haul the race.  Don't really like the drive but it's another adventure.
