That's the one near Albuquerque? I'll certainly try to take you up on that on a future visit to the USA.

Sadly, I have not hooked myself up with any gliding in the almost two years I've been in Moscow. I've found a club about 80 km away, towards St Petersburg. I expect it would be difficult to fly solo here, but I hope to make contact with them this summer.

Yup - about 40 miles east of ABQ. You can rent a car at ABQ and there
are 6 or 8 motels in Moriarty and a brewery :-D within a mile or so of
the airport.

Oh, that!
14254km between identifiable waypoints in 2016.
But I like Tony's answer better.

Far enough that I needed one more thermal (that didn't exist) to be able to get back home.
