Default Speed triangle on ridge

All turnpoints are on the windward side of a ridge. I would probably mark a thermal coming off the ridge near the start, start the task and go back to the thermal and get high enough to make the second turn. ( in a perfect world ) These are bluffs with flat tops so not a lot of sink downwind of the face.
