The winds were the problem and the solution to this task. The hard part was getting high enough to leave. I spent nearly an hour before getting over 3000'. Finally, I found a climb that took me from 3000 to 5000 and followed the wind line into the first turn area. I only climbed 11 times and a few of those were really good. I followed the streets as best I could. The task was mainly a north-south run until the last turn area. I should have taken a better line to the east but opted to keep airports within range for land-outs. Good task and the day made for a great learning opportunity.
