Many thanks

Hey, many thanks to the CC crew who put this together and supported the participants yesterday. I had a great time, got my roll much more reliable, and purposefully got trounced in the pipeline hydraulic confidently.

Keith and Bernie, thanks a ton!

Hoping to join

I'm really hoping to join this tomorrow, but I have to move an appointment. Also, I'm hoping to demo my buddy's boat, so I might be in one of two different craft, not sure which yet. 1) Your first and last name Ari Daniels 2) Your level of participation Participant 3)what type of watercraft you plan...

25th-26th

I'm going to be in the NRG area on the 25th and 26th, and would love to meet up with some other *intermediate* paddlers for a run or two. I'm not comfortable running IV-IV+ right now, at least without a super solid sidekick. If someone is there who knows the river like the lines on their lover's fac...

LJ Wednesday, 7/11, 5pm

Hey folks. I'm coming out with a friend of mine from C'ville. We're meeting in Keswick and rolling to Richmond, and should be there before 5pm, but in case there's some mess that keeps us from being right on time, I'd appreciate a little time leniency since we're making a trek and it'll be our first...

Re: Possibly 2

It's a possibility. I'm trying to currently assess the situation, but I might come out and bring a friend of mine. We're both "rusty." Looks like my friend and I are headed in the opposite direction, to Richmond to paddle the LJ. I hope to run Balcony with you soon, though. Have a good tr...

Timing/Assessment

Thanks very much for all the info. I can't join today due to prior plans (that were already rescheduled to allow me to go mountain biking!). This weekend's out. But next week is good before Thursday. I've already got the Wednesday paddle in my calendar. I feel it's relevant to say this: my schedule ...

Timing

Hey Quentin, thanks very much for the heads-up. I don't think I could make tomorrow happen, as I'd need to leave home at about 7:00 (wake up at 6:00), and I'd have to be back in Charlottesville by 2:00 at the latest. I'll shoot for the next round.

Peace

(Beg)Intermediate kayaker looking for other paddlers

Hey folks, I'm just getting back into paddling. I'd call myself an über-advanced beginner, or perhaps an intermediate, but I don't have much for comparison. Right now, I'd be perfectly comfortable throwing myself into up to Class III (knowing I'd likely not succeed at my combat roll if necessary), b...
