Default Ridge Flights April 24

On 750 KM and above, it is 25%-45% rule, not 28% rule. Allows for a change in thinking.

What I liked best is that after Dan completed his 1000 Km triangle, that wasn't enough for him! He went and added another 300 Km for more OLC points! I would have been thrilled to have just crossed the finish line, then gotten home and landed. Not Dan. "There is still daylight, the lift is still working, I am going to keep on going."

Fantastic flight, Dan!
