23rd August – Ride The Wind Day.
In 1959 the Kremer Prize was introduced in the field of “man powered flight”. It was not won until 1977, four years after they upped the prize money from £5,000 to £50,000.
On this day in 1977, the Gossamer Condor 2 flew a distance of 2,172m (7,100 feet) using only the power of pedals.
Today we celebrate that man-made flight, and its creators, Dr. Paul B. Maccready, who built the Gossamer Condor 2, and its pilot Bryan Allen, who usually piloted hang gliders.
