I'm definitely going to get back to doing more/some/any paddling ;) Alas, Saturdays are often doing family things days for me.

It was good to see you on the ride Christian. Nice bike!

Thanks for the sweet intro, Sandra   ;)

Plans are to meet at Riverrun at 10 AM
If you want shuttle from town, please meet at the Westgate shopping at 8:00 AM
We used it last Saturday and it's very convenient.

We're finalizing the party location and we'll have the details posted on Thursday.

See you there

Bill

Oh Mr. President - Also known as Sexy Schlarby,

What are the details for this weekend? What time are we expecting to put on?

Well, I wish I could be there with all of you, but I'll be 'training' on the great mountain bike trails of northern Vermont, in preparation for a 24 hrs relay race the following weekend.

All that biking talk reminds me--last weekend, CdB had a contingent at the 38th Rideau Lakes Cycle Tour. Over 354 km of headwinds, rain and sore rear ends. Sara E., Parham M. and myself were representing the club, so to speak since we were in different groups... I may have been dreaming it, but I seem to remember hearing Parham say that running marathons wasn't for him after all and that he might return to paddling. So if he makes it to the Ottawa this Saturday, maybe we should rename the event Prodigal Son Day? Ha!

The club Exec has set the New Comers day to June 13th for this year, earlier in the winter.
In the (recent) past, we have been going "en masse", on the Ottawa river up near Beachburg.
With groups over 30 of varying caliber, with the most experienced paddlers taking the lead and fishing out guys like me, back then.
Some of our members have been paddling for decades, others have started only a year or two ago.
Some learn very fast, like Adam aka "The Backyard Swimming Pool Terror of Stittsville", who started about 2 years ago, is 16 or 17yr old and already doing Donkey Flips and Loops (Darn!!! 8-)

In the same fashion, newcomers have varying level of skills and although this is not an instructing club, we watch over each other and all are there for the paddling pleasure - or the excitement.

More info to come.
