3 out of 3 for April

Spring has arrived and is just gorgeous in St Andre. The locals say the weather is 'a month in advance'. I've already gone my first bike ride of the year and had a few nice flights. 

Today looked like a marginal day for flying and I debated going for a hike instead. But I was curious to see how reality matched the forecasts. The forecasts were dead right, with a solid inversion at around 2100m. It was pretty windy so I just flew locally, doing a lot more ridge soaring than is normally necessary at St Andre. It also allowed me to check out one of my favorite local hikes, the Crete des Serres - it is almost free of snow.
