Title: Sat, Aug 20: Ottawa Main
Post by: Peter L. on August 18, 2016, 07:20:59 AM

I'm aiming for the Ottawa on Saturday... either to park and play (at Baby Face, Garb and/or Pushbutton), or to run the Main (with playing along the way).

I'm hoping for an early start, and am aiming to be off the river by 3:00 (or earlier).

I will have a car (for a change), but will be coming from the cottage, so can't offer rides from Ottawa -- can, however, help set up shuttle.

Anyone interested?

Ryan would be interested in going but needs a ride from Ottawa.

Hey Peter, if your interested in running Main, I can do that assuming you want to start at a reasonable time.  Otherwise I'll run Middle with everyone else. 
I n any case, lots of options for the Ottawa this weekend !

So Yannick and I are aiming to meet at River Run at 8:30 (is that a "reasonable time", Stephen?), in the hopes of getting a bit of surf time at Baby Face before the rafts arrive, and then moving to the Lorne to play at Garb and Pushbutton, with the aim of then running the rest of the Main.

Stephen (and anyone else): let us know if you're aiming to join us!

p.s. I'll be internet-less as of this afternoon, but can be called/texted at the number in my profile!

That's a perfectly reasonable time for people closer to the river :)

I'll join Bill and company at RiverRun at 10 for the Middle.

My surfing skills aren't good enough to justify being on the road by 7AM :)
