Our birds were again outstanding yesterday! After careful consideration, we decided not to enter our Bourges team on the national Argenton race because of the bad weather forecast (predicted scattered thunder storms). Instead we sent them to the Melun race and we split them over two federation (Bourges team of the week before + our middle distance team). It was a very tough race (first bird had velocity of 1,256 m/min) with high temperatures and head winds from start till end. It was the perfect scenery for our birds to show their class.
Our pigeons won the following results:
