We will see. 1st of august is the planned date for the first race but it wouldnt take me by surprise if we delay it by 1 week.

But we should have a few training races with the whole combine in 3-4 weeks so those will also be livestreamed

From left to right you see Date > City/village of release > Place of release > Distance in KM !!

So the last race is in Luxembourg, should be a good race pending the wind.

Yes but from experience since i started racing in 2022 we never raced the 300+km race because we dont have enough pigeons left in the combine. Most people here dont wanna basket them because they are heavily into moulting if you dont darken and light like we do. Maybe this year will be different but i dont have high hopes. As i said 4 years of racing so far and our combine didnt race the 300+km race once :D :D :D

So your birds fly the same route, like the birds in the German OLR?

Same direction yes. most of germany race in that direction. Just a few race into the east because we have mostly South west winds over here so racing east will result in head winds 80% of the time. Thats why most of germany races into Luxembourg and france.

Looking forward to seeing it all work Leon. Hope it doesn't affect your racing..
Can you tell us where you are located so we can understand the logistics a bit more.
