Happy Spring everyone. We're targeting Saturday May 16 for the 2nd (possibly) Annual Robe Canyon Downriver Race.
Here are some relevant details:
* Teams of two
* Staggered start above Tunnel; finish at the beach below "Conversation"; +/- 5 mi.
* "Landslide" = mandatory portage
* Actual race date may be pushed out at 11th-hour due to flow considerations. Range = 4.9 - 6.5'ish (or however high racers are willing to go).
* This is an unsponsored, grassroots, non-event
* 1st Place team gets to take home the sweet winners' robes; Last Place team gets to take home & take care of The Robe Gnome for the next year
Interested in racing? Cool, please register your team asap by posting a comment below or emailing me your team members names & email addresses.
Interested in volunteering? Excellent, we need finish line timekeepers, shore support, & a couple safety kayakers.
Last year's race day was muy divertido! Here are a couple links to stories & lots of pics from last year:

Also .. huge appreciation to my brother Tim for providing the artwork for the race announcement. This piece will also be embroidered on the backs of the winners' robes.
Feel free to post/email any questions, comments or shit-talking.
