Finally racing tomorrow.

3 guys sent over 80 pigeons each, widowhood cocks and hens. I sent two 2 year olds and 7 yearlings, never raced.
10 to 20 mph headwind forecast. Distance for me 155 miles. Going to be interesting!!

Here is one for you Devo a bit of trivia. Not quite as fast as K birds went etc but they are just a bunch of sprint freaks     up his way. Our King island special today here, 30 clocks 1239mpm  down to 659mpm & thats 2 hrs & 56 minutes in time differance & not 40 seconds     like Killers race was today to fill his fed there.

Can i ask you knackered, what part of Aus do you live, and from what distances do you race. thank you.

good luck hal...........

All the best Hal, it's all about the quality mate

Many missing, 50% at clock off. Not me got 5 out of 9. Probably middle of the sheet. Only way to cull them!

Sorry Devo but I'm not telling you as one must remain anonymous I believe (Safety reasons). But in my back yard here, we have. Formula one racing, Grand slam tennis & GP racing for all us bike nuts & also the greatest little sport stadium one could ever have called the MCG etc & I also see now we have those weird types (Wear dresses) coming down here to show off all their talent & there called the Edinbourogh mob/tattoo I believe & trust me when I say our K here will have none of the above in his little back yard etc. Now !!! The distance thing is easy 500/600 miles & I didn't get out of bed till the 350 mile mark      at least that was my past. Now I'm just a pigeon lover as such, sadly I'm   just waiting to fall off my perch      .

Good that you understand. Love of the birds has been there for 60 odd years Devo & will never go away etc. The banter trick is why I use this forum, so as to motivate my brain cells so they  dont finish up like my body       sadly.

Just the one missing now. More than satisfied.

Hope your missing bird returns safe and well Hal, All the best.

good news hal that's the first one out the way

well done hal hope you got your other bird home

Ok returns Hal now you have a yardstick to work off for the next race etc.

well done hal good returns that for the first race

Good see you only have one left to return Hal

Hal which one is missing one of your yearlings or older birds ??

2 year old, but back now. Unfortunately the club is not racing this weekend. Bad weather. Have hens just busting the skies. So their first race will be 200 miles next week.
