The next BAPA meeting is this Wednesday at the Summit Pointe Golf Course in Milipitas. Directions are under Meetings. Social half hour starts at 6:30PM, with the meeting starting at 7:00PM.
Following, the meeting, Jim Chu will talk with us a bit about vol/biv trips he’s done and the equipment he used. Then we’ll have a group discussion about possible routes and a potential vol/biv weekend competition this summer.
See you there!
Regards,
Mike (and Katrina, and Kevin)

My guess is that there are a lot of closet hike and flyers out there.
Like me, you like breaking a sweat (not just when you're packing your glider) and you like the mountains + being outdoors in general.
A few things I'd like to propose are below. I want to hear your thoughts on these -- you can join the google group (email distribution list) to keep the conversation going:

Also, we'll be able to discuss this topic at the next BAPA meeting on March 3 at 7pm in Milpitas. I'll go over equipment and places and I'd like to hear from everyone what they've done, would like to do, what they're up for. So show up and let's figure out what we can do.
1) Weekly hike and fly at local Bay Area sites
I propose Mission on Tuesdays at 4:30pm starting March 16 which is after daylight savings. I'm open to other sites, too so just propose something.
2) Vol-biv trips in the Sierras and Northern California coastal ranges over weekends
I've looked at a number of different routes and possibilities. It's always better to do these things in groups so I'd like to see who wants to join me.
3) Informal vol-biv competition this summer
Let's pick a 3-day weekend, pick a route we've checked out, get a few people for ground support, pack some beer, and start walking/flying.

Hello BAPA Members!
The BAPA holiday party will be this Saturday, December 5th at 7 p.m. at RJ Mical's house in Redwood City.
BAPA will provide some main dishes, but BAPA members are asked to bring appetizers, drinks (wine, beer, eggnog, anything!), salads, side dishes (such as potatoes, rice, pasta, etc.) or desserts. Main dishes are welcome too.
You should have received an Evite invitation with all the details (sent to the Members list), but if you have any questions, contact Kevin Hester.
Be sure to update your Evite RSVP to indicate whether you're going and what you plan to bring. |
