Starts are over and pilots are ready to compete. The weather looks nice but cumulus clouds have already disolved above Nitra. According to the satellite pictures the cumulus are around TMA Sliac and that is where pilots are heading. Thermals are strong so there should be no problems. It is windy and cold outside but the sun is shinning.
