Despite an isothermic lapse rate, otherwise perfect weather was forecasted on this mid-spring day, which I felt must be spent outdoors. What better place than my local mountain. With a light sea breeze forecasted I played it safe and launched from Juniper. Summer looks like its on the way as I worked the west side foothills of Diablo which are beginning to brown.
Good thermal lift was found and then would disappear into thin air with a corresponding search mode circle in sink also reminding me of summer. Soaring conditions were mediocre as expected but it was enjoyable cruising the air in a T-Shirt, Shorts and Helmet.
A no step fire road landing at the 1000 Footer was the perfect end to a fairly extended sled ride on a day with summer feel.
