Hi Everybody!
-- What a great night we had for our first attainment-- The sun was shining, the elevator move was going up, and almost the whole group could make it out to paddle despite the early sunset time. It was really good to see some of your faces that I haven't seen since last Cheat Season and so good to meet our new Cheat Peeps!
Speaking of which, Maddie just moved into the area and is looking for some help with transportation for herself and/or maybe boat from Petworth or a metro. If you can help a new member of our community, please reach out to her separately.
Also, we would love to hear from you-- if you have any thoughts or feedback on our first meeting please shoot me a message.
For Saturday, please drop your boat at Great Falls-- you can put it near the snack bar or in the circle, just make sure it is not on the sidewalk or road.We will then be meeting at Sycamore Island parking area at 9 am. There are two lots- one on Clara Barton and one on MacArthur. We will pull the bus in on MacArthur but there is a bridge that connects the two. The lot on Clara Barton is a shorter walk at the end with your boat :) Plan to paddle til about noon.
You will need to have float bags in your boat by Saturday. Stern floats are required and a bow float is recommended. Also remember to bring water and a snack. These downrivers are a good way to build endurance and work on forward stroke. When we get off the bus at Great Falls, head down to Sandy Beach. We will do a warm up as a big group and then split into 4 groups based on how fast you want to paddle. Usually, we will take on sections of the river, working on skillz as we head down.
Looking forward to the Saturday Downriver (affectionately referred to as the Slow, Grinding Death). See ya then!
