Moyes America

I visit the Moyes America office in Auburn, California (Moyes America, Auburn, CA)

www.moyesamerica.com

Visited Kenny Brown, the Moyes USA distributor this week in Auburn, California, situated in the foothills of the Sierras 40 miles west of the state Capital city, Sacramento.  Ken and his family are doing great and I got to check out Ken's Moyes distribution center, his garage, specially built to handle Moyes parts and pieces.

In addition to handling all the affairs of Moyes in the US and working through US Moyes dealers like Kraig Coomber, Mike Barber, Marcelo Zanetti and others, Kenny works part time as a salesman of solar electric panels.  While I was out flying, he spent the weekend at the Auburn Home Show at the Auburn Fairgrounds.

On the back side of Ken's place is the American River north fork and south fork confluence.  Highway 49 (as in the California Forty Niner's) passes over that confluence ad it is the center of the Auburn State Recreational Area.  Lots of mountain biking.

Auburn bills itself as the Endurance Capital of the World, and there are a number of races that attest to that, but I do believe other sites are getting longer races with more endurance required.  http://www.auburnendurancecapital.com/

I have been reading some articles at Oz Report lately about the fact of the number of hang glider pilots is decreasing during the past years around the world.  So I decided to give my little contribution to change this scenery and teaching a friend of mine the art of flying and I realized just in his first day of training that the guy has "the gift" of hang gliding.

The video of his lessons: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioYTH-jzBBE
