Reminder that next weeks race is being bumped from Wednesday to Saturday July 7th. I was originally going to say we’d start the  race at 10:00, but it looks like that’s forecast to be another really hot day, so I think it would be better to start at 9 am before it gets too hot, and the lake gets too crowded. So we’ll go with a 9:00 start time.

Good "Bump" Day race on Saturday in frigid 75 degree conditions with that pesky ESE head/crosswind! we had 24 people race in 17 boats and 6 SUPs with 5 new divisional personal bests including Lydia Calnan Bauer in the Epic V7 Surf Ski with a time of 34:36 (5.41 mph), Rob Holcomb and newcomer Zach Pellerin (age 13) setting their baseline personal best paddling together in the Wenonah Jensen V1-A Mixer Canoe with a time of 36:04 (5.19 mph), Kevin Sampson on the 12'6" Isle SUP with a time of 37:53 (4.94 mph), Ryan Kelley in the Riot Edge Kayak with a time of 38:02 (4.92 mph), and newcomer David Pellerin setting his baseline personal best in the Wilderness Tsunami 120 Kayak with a time of 45:05 (4.15 mph). The full results are attached with the personal bests highlighted green. Thanks to Randy Hill for taking times. See you all this Wednesday when we return to our regularly scheduled programming!

is the last race 10/4? How much does it cost and do I need a permit?
Thanks, I'm sure you've answered these questions before.  Lastly, I don't see many canoes in the results, how is the lake pretty choppy or not bad?
Thanks again.
