Cruisin' CMac






The wind was honkin' and there was standing water in the fields so we were off to CCFL and the parking lot for the performing arts shell. The wind was from the SSE and gusty, changing direction back and forth between S and SE. The direction was not optimal for the parking lot but very doable. I was able to use the grade of the lot to my advantage and coast into the wind to stay near the vehicle and not get to far down wind, then pull back up the hill with good speed runs when the wind peaked. I need to put brakes on the buggy for the downhill runs tho as I wore the heels of my shoes pretty badly dragging my heels to slow down and not over run the kite going down the hill. There is probably five feet of elevation change from one side of the lot to the other. Thanks to Andy for taking the pictures.
