Re: cheat_training_group Dickerson Saturday? Potomac Downriver Race?

Oh man.  If you all run Kitzmiller, can you take a couple of extras following you down?

Hey Megan,  that's not a scheduled release, but if what you say is true, the Savage is a great option for UY Training.   I would also like to do the N. Branch to Kitzmiller, if we get the rain they are forecasting.  Haven't done either one yet this year.

I'm not part of the UY group this year :(  but FYI, I discovered yesterday that there will be a release on the Savage both days this weekend.  That's where I'm heading if the race is cancelled!

The race will be cancelled too if the river is above 6 ft. And we can go creeking!

Dickerson seems unlikely with all the forecast rain and river level rising to above 6'

Potomac Downriver Race will be postponed if the LF gauge is above 6' which also seems likely
 
This message is from the Canoe Cruisers Association.

The 59th running of the CCA Potomac Downriver Race, hosted by Sycamore Island and co-sponsored by Potomac Whitewater Racing Center, will be held Saturday, May 17th, 2014. Come and be part of one of the longest running whitewater races in the nation.

Obtain a registration form from http://www.canoecruisers.org/notices.html. Follow the instructions for mailing. The entrance fee is $25. Note also that $5 per paddler must be included in the fee for insurance unless the paddler is a member of the ACA (American Canoe Association) and your ACA number is provided. Tandem teams pay as two individuals. Liability forms must be signed on race day.

 The race start will be moved to Angler's if the USGS Little Falls gauge reads 5.0 to 6.0 feet on the morning of the race.  
The race will be postponed to Saturday, May 24th if the Little Falls gauge exceeds 6.0 feet on the morning of the race.
 
Volunteers are needed for the race.
If you are not racing, and would still like to be part of the fun, volunteer to help. We need safety boats, check-in desk staff, food prep helpers, and race finish assistants. Contact Howard Morland hbmorland@aol.com or call him at (703) 525-1429.
 
Safety Boaters for the Downriver Race
CCA needs safety boaters for the CCA Potomac Downriver Race, Saturday May 17, with a backup date of Saturday May 24.  Course depends on levels.  5' and under, start is at the rocky cove on the Maryland side below Rocky Island wave.  Between 5' and 6', the start is at Anglers.  Over 6', postponed.  The finish is the channel between Sycamore Island and the towpath.  The time commitment is about 8 or 9 AM to about 1 PM.  Organizational details will be forthcoming closer to the race date. 

We are looking to get 8 to a dozen volunteers, to work in pairs, at these locations:

Stubblefield, Yellow Falls, Maryland Chute, Wet Bottom, maybe S-Turn (for boaters running S-Turn to get to the start), and maybe upstream of Sycamore Island.

The primary responsibility is assisting swimmers and helping recover swamped boats and gear.  At Sycamore, the primary purpose is to ensure racers turn into the shore channel and don't keep paddling towards Brookmont.
