No problem, Gian.
I would have liked you to finish the event with us, got the badge, and all. But this is about as much as I can stretch the rules here. There is a reason there are set dates to the legs, you know
Anyway, I would be happy to see you flying with us on any of the next legs, even though it would "only" be for fun. In fact, the fun is the most important of the factors, isn't it?
Just keep an eye on the "Doodle for..." thread, and join in on the fun. Enter your availability too, if you have any preferences.
Happy New Years!
