Sorry to anyone who might have been interested in goings-on here the last 2 days. My computer had a critical battery failure and presented me with the blue screen of death! Fortunately there was a resurection and I am now in contact again :)
Task 5: Can't remember much about it - I have been to sleep since then! We started over Roldanillo so that pilots could drop streamers to celebrate the towns birthday. After rain on luanch it turned into a classic Roldanillo day. Nearly everyone was in goal :) (Though typically this was unfortunate since we didn't have permission to us the goal field!)
We were negotiating with the land-owner until the lead gaggle were visible on final-glide. At that point it became necessary to take action, so out came the goal line just seconds before the first guys 'crossed-it'!
Task 6: 110km around the valley in the best conditions of the week. This is the last task since World Cup rules state that the comp is over after 6 fully valid tasks. Primoz threw his reserve again just in front of launch to make a score of 2 tosses this week. It seems this is a difficult proto.
During the crossing to the tp at El Molino, Keiko exposed her washing followed by Clayton just before goal. All landed unhurt and were quickly rescued by the SAR team working with us this week.
Smiley Marcus won his first world cup task, followed over the line by Pepe with Yassan 3rd. Lead out points changed the order and final results are now out.
The overall Roldanillo World Cup ranking is now:
1. Michael Sigel
2. Russ Ogden
3. Peter Neuenschwander
4. Xevi Bonet
5. Pepe Malecki
Girls:
1. Renata
2. Elisa
3. Keiko
The prize giving is tomorrow evening...now i go to sleep with no bells to wake me tomorrow and then i fly ! :)

Well done! Been following this as much as I could and everybody seemed to be saying how brilliant the comp was, how nice the Colombian people are and how fantastic the scenery is. Wish I had been there!
Have a great rest, lovely flying and enjoy your holiday now it's all over.
Big hugs,
Jx
