It reminds me of my trip from Sofia to Bucharest, the wind was blowing so hard that gliding wasn't an option at all. It was like breaking with an engine. Hopefully you'll meet that wind again on the way back blowing from behind. Then you'll see numbers growing up to 70+

Can't wait for the results. But now I can let my finges to rest a bit and I'll keep them crossed again in two days. Enjoy the weekend and have a safe trip back home.
