RP2IPBP - Wind powered Flight out East

Rocky Point 2 Iron Pear Beach Park ride continues, but today just almost all the way out. A quite windy day with gusts up to 40mph -- however, Py went for it and Marco joined from the start, Ed little later as usual. Going East was a fast fun wind powered ride, with just little effords flying "easy" with 30mph for long. Almost all the way out M had to stop, they just moved a few 100m further to and wind protected convenient area to fix a flat... or to remove some steel wire from his rear tire... took him some time go get it going. The wind was pretty nasty and they decided to return from there and skiped the remaining out and back and returned on an slightly modified route to hide a bit more from the wind...

Stats:

"Easy flying" 32km @ 34.3km/h East wards and 40km @ 31km/h going west today on a modified wind optimized return route.

Time and Distance cumulated at various speed zones
