Well today was all about the weather (almost). We had a briefing this moming to review the flyby procedures for all the airports on the route. That was followed by a safety seminar and that was followed by a weather briefing. Unfortunately the weather briefing did not bring good news. As you already saw from Alison's post, the start of the race has been moved to Wednesday at noon in Alliance, Nebraska. It's currently a made scramble to find hotel rooms there tomorrow night. It was a quiet day from a picture standpoint but below are a few pictures from the briefings.

This is a picture of Alison's iPad with the weather overlaying the race route.
Here are some discouraged racers listening to the weather briefer with some bad news.
