Boring booming days

I fly in New England and staying up in the air is challenging on the majority
of "flyable days". Every so often, we get a booming day (like today) and I
commonly end up saying (and I hear other pilots saying), "It was so easy to
stay up, I got bored."

So what happens when a pilot who is used to scrapping for lift goes to the
land of big, strong, and reliable thermals? Does the pilot get bored? Or
does the pilot find other challenges to keep things interesting (like flying
300 km tasks and landing out on top of mountains).

You go over the horizon. Way, way over the horizon. Fly to another
state, heck, fly clear across your time zone! Head out all alone on a
500k or 1000k, whatever the day might just possibly support. Do it again
with a couple of buddies. Race, go for a record, go for a badge. Just
don't fly around the flagpole all afternoon.
