I'm throwing out the idea of running one of the Ottawa channels this Saturday, most likely the Main at this level or alternatively running the Gatineau. Meet at Blacks Takeout at a civilized 11 am, or meet at the Gatineau's Bonnet Rouge at the same time, no rafts a this time, take our time, run, play, poutine in that order.
Who's in?
Paul ;D
-
I'd really like to do the Gat., but the Main will do if that's where most want to go.

Does the thought of burning off turkey calories on Monday by running the Gat appeal to anyone?
-
It looks like Saturday will be the hot one this weekend (24-29C). I'd perfer the Main but I would do the Gat if we vote for that.

Well I did post for Saturday, October 8, so that's the date I'm inviting club members to paddle on. The choice of rivers is open but unfortunately not the date, on this thread. But.....I'm sure if you start your very own thread asking people to paddle with you Monday that there will be takers too.
Paul;)
-
Coming ! Main is cool but you decide the river :)
Daniel
-
I'm tempted to join you guys (preferrably the main) - any car sharing planned?
Dani
-
Why don't we meet at Whispers to talk about planning and carpooling, tomorrow after paddling, for those who can get there early enough, or just for those who want to show up at the pub, say 7:30pm.
Cheers,
Paul
-
Paul, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it tomorrow since I'll be on call. I'll definitely be interested in doing the Main and in carsharing and could even drive myself (Christian will know why I'm stressing this fact...). Please keep me posted!
Thanks,
Dani
-
Okay Dani, I will repost after tomorrow's huh... "conference" at Whispers.
Paul ;D

Gatineau, Gatineau, Gatineau, Gatineau, nothing much good on the ottawa at -3 , the gatineau is at 7 and the wave at bonnet rouge is F***ing awsome at this level,somewhere between babyface and garb. Plus the wave at lucifer I always forget the name in english is one hell of ride. That's my 2 cents for saturday.
HiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D

I was on the Ottawa yesterday and both Garb and push button were great - although Garb was hard to catch. Baby face was also in last weekend, although harder to catch, I believe the level was -2 3/4.
I'm out for this weekend, but it looks like it will be great weather for paddling!
-
I'm good for either rivers, I just need to paddle. Come out tomorrow at Whispers and lets vote!

Fine then. I'm taking my ball, and going home. I'll be pouting over here: http://www.cdb-ottawa.com/simplemachinesforum/index.php?topic=4600.0

I would still be interested in the Gat, but it may not matter. If I don't feel better than I do today, I won't be able to paddle. I've so far spent the majority of the last three days in bed and getting up and out only for my exams of which I have three in three days. Two down, last one tomorrow. At any rate, I'm probably going to be feeling weak, but we'll see.
Kelly

Okay. The consensus is to do the Main!!
Meeting at 11AM at Black's Takeout.
Please post for carpooling.
Paul :D
-
I'm down for doing the main and will carpool, shall we meet at eagleson park and ride? I am coming from south nepean if somebody nearby wants to meet up....
-
Looks like my nephew Martin & I will be doing the Main with you guys on Saturday, however I need to be back in town for 5:30 pm (off the river by 3:30), so if any one out there wants to start earlier than 11 am, then I propose to start at 10 am, do the shuttle thing etc. & play at Babyface or Pushbutton until the rest of the gang shows up and then take off a little earlier.
Ryszard
-
I'm coming from New Edinburgh, close to Liz's place (but wrong side of Beechwood, I know), so if anybody from the East-end or centre of the city wants to carpool, feel free to contact me. Otherwise I'll meet you at Eagleson. I would not mind an earlier start, but could do both. Paul, you posted, so you decide, right?
Dani
-
I will be at Eagleston park and ride at...... oops I mean 9:30am!!!! so that should give us plenty of time to get to the takeout at 11AM. Rychard, we'll meet up with you at Baby Face! Nice to see you and Martin can join us. Water's getting cold so maybe not as much playing as usual, more running so you should be off the river by 3:30PM. Christian and Bill will confirm tomorrow. Daniel is bringing three new friends (Where does he finds all these friends...???:))
Cheers,
Paul :)
-
Might join the gang. But there's no way I'll be at Eagleson at 8:30, since 9:30 at Eagleson
is more than enough time to get to the takeout by 11AM. ;-). Paul - when you say Black's
takeout are you referring to the WT takeout below Blacks or the actual Black's takeout?
We normally use the WT takeout.
Thanks,
\MR

Paul's fingers are too big... I'm sure he meant 9:30 as well. I should be there too! --C.
-
I'm out and I'm envious! Still not 100%. Have a great time it's gonna be a beauuutiful day on the river.
Kelly
-
3 friends comings with me (us) it will be fun!
Daniel
-
Oops. Fat finger syndrome ... Yes I did mean at 9:30am at Eagleston Park & Ride.
And for those of you who want to meet at Christian's place first, at 9am, he is located at 87 Goulburn, off Laurier Street East, in Sandy Hill.
See you tomorrow!
Paul:)
-
I'm gonna meet Richard at the take out at 10 so i won't be at the park and ride.
-
Christian, I'll come to your place at 9 am tomorrow, anticipating your snide remarks...
Dani
-
I'm still not well enough to risk a swim. Have a great day!
Adam
