CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 1ST DROP 25 BIRDS FROM 125 MILES!! THIS RACE WAS GOING TO BE A 300 MILE BUT LOST AXLE ON TRAILER HEADING THAT WAY AS SOON AS I GET THIS DONE. IT'S WAS A WARM UP FOR THE NEXT TWO RACES NOT WHAT I WANTED BUT CRAP HAPPENS I JUST GRATFUL THAT DRIVER AND PIGEONS ARE ALL GOOD. REALLY NOW YOU BREEDERS GET 100,150,200,250,121,300,350 LOTS OF MILES ON THESE BIRDS WHEN THEY FINISH THE RACES, LOOKING LIKE FRIDAY OR SATURDAY FOR 300 IT'S WARMING UP AND COULD HAVE A 350 MILE RACE IN THE 90'S BUT NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT THAT. TILL NEXT WEEK HAVE A GREAT WEEK AND STAY SAFE!!!
Good Morning Breeders
The 300 has been changed to Saturday!! The Weather is calling for 15-18 headwinds at Release and almost the same the whole way home and up to 20mph gusts. Fallon can be tuff anyways so it really scares me with these winds so I hope you all understand the move. Saturday looks a little better with 6-8 headwinds 3/4 of the way and 1/4 a tailwind.
Thank You and best of luck to you all
Mark
