Enroute

Most of the gliders are enroute turnpoint 2; working band is 4500 - 2500'.  Looking good.  It appears weak just north of the Seaway...  most gliders are avoiding that area.

It also appears to be cycling; this is slowing average speeds a bit right now.  Wind is about 340/11, averaged over the contestants, according to the tracker.  Legs 3 and 4 will be more into wind, and thus more difficult - but easily doable in modern gliders/sailplanes.
