And I have a few questions:
My student pilot certificate from my PP-ASEL doesn't expire until 10/06 - so can I use the same student pilot cert for my glider training or will I need to get a new one?
Since I already have my PP-ASEL am I reading FAR 61.109(f)(2) correct in that the bare minimum requirements are just:
Now I know those are supposed to be bare minimums, but that seems awful minimum. Am I missing something? I have to be missing something...
I found a glider club near my house that is relatively inexpensive to join/maintain and the training rates are reasonable - enough so that I'm super interested in giving this a try!

FAR 61.109(f)(2) said:[That] the applicant must log at least 3 hours of flight time in a glider in the areas of operation listed in §61.107(b)(6) of this part, and that flight time must include at least—
(i) 10 solo flights in a glider in the areas of operation listed in §61.107(b)(6) of this part; and
(ii) 3 training flights in a glider with an authorized instructor in preparation for the practical test that must have been performed within the 60-day period preceding the date of the test.
Now I know those are supposed to be bare minimums, but that seems awful minimum. Am I missing something? I have to be missing something...
