Good Morning!
Good morning breeders...2 degrees here at the loft and about a foot of snow. Beautiful winter wonderland. I had my first round of babies hatch over the last few days and the parents are sitting tight on these cold days. This is always an exciting time of the year for me with new babies hatching and looking to see what races I will send them out to this year. There are some new ones that look promising this year and of course there are several that have shown their worth through the years.
Crooked River Challenge will start accepting birds for the 9th season the last week of February/first week of March. For those that are new to the race this year or are thinking about entering this year, here is a bit more information.
1000 plus miles of road training before the 200 mile race.
Competitive Payout...average last 4 years has been $349,000.
Entry fees due after 150 mile activation.
Daily loft flight inventories
Competitive series through the mountains and high desert 200 miles, 250 miles, 300 miles, and 367 miles.
