I will be driving to the Paddlesport show Saturday morning, leaving NYC around 9am or so from the Upper West Side. I'll be driving back later that day. Anyone from Manhattan want a ride?

Then take a cab to the Garden State Exhibit Center or the Double Tree Hotel (both on same grounds) which is supposed to be about $10-15 each way. From Penn Station the whole travel time to the show shouldn't be more than an hour and a quarter or so. Entry is $7 to the show. That isn't an awful lot of money overall to get to see tons of gears and boats and buy at a show discount. And it is entertaining. > > One highlight are the lectures to be given by Greg Barton, the Olympic kayak champ. Olympic Experience and Training Tips, Saturday, 2:30 pm; Forward Stroke Discussion and Demo, Sunday, 12:30 pm. You can also get a chance to meet fellow group members from Atlantic Sea Kayakers (Debbie Reeves) and Anorak (Gabriel Romeu, Ray Killen) among others. > > Info about the show can be found at http://www.jerseypaddler.com > > I plan to be there the entire time helping out at various booths > (Feathercraft, Atlantic Sea Kayakers, Anorak) and will be speaking > there on foldables, thank god not at the same time as Barton!
