Yes Leon I think it would have been a fair bit slower if they had flown the full distance.Spieker-Loft wrote: ↑Sat Oct 05, 2024 9:34 pm Would've been a hard race if they didn't drive back 130km The first 100-200km They had 40-45kmh Head Wind
Guess the time
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.
Actually I think you will find I was closer at 7 hours 2 minutes. Devo was 12 minutes off, I was 7 minutes off.
Greetings from the land down under. 
Blessed is he who expecteth nothing, for verily, he shall not be disappointed.

Well done Muzza, well done all.
What are the overall returns like ??
As you say, could have been a very different race if they'd gone the full distance, must be very frustrating for those who's birds are more suited to go that little bit further !!
Haveing said that I know Jelle Jellema is a distance man, I've actually got one of his family in my loft.
Not directly from him of course, she came into me as a youngster last year (2023). She had a couple of races as a baby, unfortunately this year she came home from her first outing with her throat all torn open, our club chairman stitched her up for me and remarkably she made a full recovery and even managed the last couple of short races.
