Would like to join, and paddle both days; can anyone offer a ride (from near 417 & Parkdale)...?

Happy to go up Friday or Saturday. (The Friday forecast is looking better for Maniwaki (light rain) than for Ottawa (risk of thunderstorms)... but, yes, they'll both change a few times before then!)
Gas money and/or driving abilities on offer; maybe even first crack at the dessert I'm planning on bringing too!
