Title: Looking to paddle on Saturday June 20
Post by: Bill Schlarb on June 18, 2009, 06:47:16 PM

Hi folks,

I'd like to paddle on Saturday and I'm open to
ideas as to where (Ottawa, Rouge, Gat, Petite Nation?) .

I Bill,

I would like to paddle on Saturday too. I cannot join the Sunday trip because of fathers day and it's been two weeks since I paddled.

I'm also open to the river and the hour.

I was thinking of paddling on Sunday but would be open to Saturday if we are not back too, too late. Where do you want to go?

I'm good also for coming back at a decent time (like I said: I'm flexible).

As for the river to go to, here is my two senses. The Rouge, I never done so I suggest that we might not do that one since it seems to be only three persons coming. I'm comfortable with the Ottawa, The Gatineau or the petite Nation. The level of the Ottawa is still at a fun size (15.25 yesterday afternoon on OKS web site). The Gatineau also is at a good size (21). I ran it at that size last year and it was fine. The Petite Nation is at a medium level.

The question is: Bill what are you comfortable to do with Liz and me? Don't forget that I am on fire this year  ;).

The Ottawa or the Gatineau would be fine. I've never done the Gatineau at 21 but.... the only constraint on Saturday is time. I have to get together with a teacher on Saturday night to write some awards. I should be back, really no later than 6pm.

Ok, let's make it the Ottawa. Since 6:00 PM is the "get-back-to-town-time"
we should meet at River Run at 10:00 AM

Annie: do you want to carpool ?

Meeting at Champlain at 8am sounds good. I guess we will need two cars so I can drive if you need a ride Annie. Just let me know.

Can I suggest meeting at the Westgate Shopping Center?
We used it last Saturday and it's ideal, lots of parking behind the plaza and it's located right next to the 417.

As for cars, I'd prefer to ride with someone since my car is a bit hard on gas.
We can sort that out in the morning

So 8 AM at the West Gate Mall it is. And I have no problem taking my car.

Sounds good. I'm assuming that's where Kelly has his frameshop.
