Title: The Middle Saturday
Post by: KellyM on July 03, 2008, 11:18:41 PM: Hi all

The consensus tonight after the paddle was there was a number of people interested in paddling The Middle - meet at RiverRun Gate 9:00 Saturday. If you are interested please confirm. If there are no confirmations, I can't guarantee there will be anyone there to meet with at that time, as everyone I talked to was checking out alternative plans.

Post by: Steve Harrington on July 04, 2008, 03:26:07 AM: How about doing the Madawaska Staurday? I've never done it and the levels are good according to the gauges.
The middle run will probably be good longer than the Mad.

I'd be up for the middle on saturday, earlier the better, but whatever. Only thing, is I need a ride, as my car is currently semi-FUBAR. I'll split gas costs of course (and driving if you want)
Let me know, here or an email
later

Post by: KellyM on July 04, 2008, 09:41:44 AM: I can take one person also, or I'd like to ride with someone and throw in on gas. Either way. But if it ends up I'm solo I'll have to cancel. I've already spent $24.00 twice on the round trip - not justifiable.

So who needs a ride or wants to give?

Post by: Annie V. on July 04, 2008, 09:45:34 AM: I'm up also for doing the middle this saturday. I would be happy to carpool too.

Kelly, if you want, we can go together.

Thanks for the ride share offer. Your vehicle or mine? Doesn't matter to me. I could meet at Champlain if that's convenient. I'm off to my shop now but you can contact me there today at 613-722-5751.

Post by: gregalmond on July 04, 2008, 11:38:46 AM: Hi Kelly,

I'm interested in kayaking the middle channel tomorrow. Are you planning to leave Ottawa at about 7:30am?

Is anyone else planning to meet at Champlain?

Post by: benoit.turcotte@tbs-sct.g on July 04, 2008, 01:22:38 PM: I am interested in joining the group on Saturday to do the Middle. I don't get out much on CdB trips, but I am experienced and have a bomb-proof roll. This would be good for me to get reacquainted with the CdB group. I have a car (Toyota Corolla, with a good roof rack) and can bring up to three people with me along with their gear.

I live in the Mooneys Bay area near the corner of Walkley & Riverside Drive (26 Walton Court). Does anyone need to get picked up or do you usually meet on Bate Island for those who want to car pool?

Based on one of the original posts, I am assuming that the meeting place is at the River Run gate @ 9AM?

Please let me know.

Cheers,

Ben

Post by: KellyM on July 04, 2008, 01:39:33 PM: I agree we should stick to the 9:00 meet at RR gate. So timewise its whatever it takes to get you there. If there is to be a carpool from Champlain, I'd suggest a 7:00 am meet with a 15 minute rule. Leaving Champlain at 7:15 provides enough time to not have to rush.

Post by: gregalmond on July 04, 2008, 01:48:48 PM: Okay Dave, I can drive this time. Are you able to get a lift to Bate Island for 7am? Otherwise I'll pick you up and we can swing by Bate Island to make sure the carpooling is working out.

Post by: benoit.turcotte@tbs-sct.g on July 04, 2008, 01:50:21 PM: Kelly,

Thanks for your reply. 7am at Champlain Bridge/Bate Island sounds reasonable and I will wait for 15 minutes. I will be the guy with the light green Corrolla with a blue Wavesport ZG on the roof.

Post by: GrahameH on July 04, 2008, 03:36:48 PM: I'll be there too:)

I think that this weekend, there will be donation to the National Freestyle team if the WT takeout is used. The money would go to team uniform gear and such.

Post by: GrahameH on July 04, 2008, 05:42:01 PM: Pepto? Storytelling?
Title: Re: The Middle Saturday
Post by: viking on July 04, 2008, 06:24:11 PM: Good news...bad news. Good news...I'm doing a clinic with Billy Harris tomorrow....bad news, no way I can run the middle and do the clinic....

I'm afraid I'm out for the middle tomorrow....Have a great time....

Jeremy will need a ride...hope someone can help him out.

Post by: ianbowles on July 04, 2008, 06:50:42 PM: I'm in too. I'll show up at the island at 7am to share a ride unless anyone wants to arrange anything direct . I live close by. I can take at least one more or share gas... whatever.

Post by: gregalmond on July 05, 2008, 05:16:18 PM: Great day on the river folks!

Someone left a brown fleece jacket in my car...with a peanut butter cookie in the pocket. If you want to claim the jacket (no promises for the cookie) please contact me.
