canoe/ kayak races
Hey kids, I found some races to keep you motivated to stay in shape this winter. There is the 8 mile Vermilion race on March 28. More info at www.keelhaulers.org. I would like to do this one only because I have not been on the Vermilion River and it could be a future club run. Call it a $15 scouting run with 100 other people ! The other race is on the Grand River on April 24th. More info for that one at www.lakemetropark.com. Both of these races are for recreational boaters with a class for all. ( I would be in K1S- senior, over 50, with kayak up to 14.4 ft).

So... did you go?
How was it? The 49 degree temp kept me away and I didn't want to be in the rain in 49 degrees.

Congratulations Debra!
Good for you! Are you going to the race on the Susquehanna? How far away is it? I'm hoping to go on the Beaver run this Sun. Looks like you can't make Sunday huh?

Susquehanna river race
The race is on May 1 at 11 am it takes about 3 hrs to get there from Beaver Falls Pa. The kayak classes are women, men in boats under 14 and boats over 14 feet, no age groups. But then young people get beat buy the old people all the time. They had about 35 boats last year and most where not there to race but paddle, the race cost 15 and you get shuttled an outfitter wants 40 to shuttle. The river has alot of rocks not good for fiberglass boats.
