Second flight at Moriarty

It's Saturday. Bunch of local pilots showed up, and there was a long line for tows by noon. As soon as I released, I had a good 6 to 8 kts thermal up to 14,000 ft or so. Most of the day, the cloudbase was 15,500 ft except for over Sierra Blanc Peak where the clouds were a bit lower. Clouds started to overdevelop from the east, so I took a western path on my way back from Sierra Blanc Peak. Albuquerque Center responded well when I inquired if there was any activities in the MOAs and Restricted Areas. Overall, I had relatively worry-less flight. Flew about 450km in 4.5 hours.
