If you live in the greater Portland Oregon area and have thought about giving kayak racing a try, I'd like to direct your attention to the Oregon Canoe Racing Associations' Wednesday night, summer 10K series. The races are informal and happen about every other week. Alll paddler-types are welcome. We get everything from hard core racer-jocks to recreational paddlers. At the last race, I was the only kayak (everyone else used these bizarre strange looking things called canoes) which meant I took first place in the kayak division (the first one in my glowing racing career). The next race is Wed July 7 on the clackamus river. This is a down river race (class I --- none of that white water stuff), but all the others are on flat water. Contact me if you want to learn more about these races. --Tim tgmatso_at_ichips.intel.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
