OK, we've talked about it for long enough. It is more or less settled .. and tentatively set in stone-cold stone.
We are very reasonably CERTAIN ...
That the First (Possibly) Annual Robe Canyon Downriver Endurance Race will be held on:
the weekend of April 26I'm pretty sure there's a couple people on this forum that paddle Robe, so this is just to
get that date onto people's calendars & to encourage to form teams &/or get involved. There are still plenty of
wrinkles to iron out, but for now, here are some details:
- Begins at River-right eddy above "Tunnel Rapid"
- Ends at River-left beach below "Conversation"
- Mandatory Portage at "Landslide"
- It will be a staggered start, not head-to-head. This will be a long, grueling race, so safety is the top priority.
Let's rally around this! Please help spread the word. We need
safety volunteers who can double as media-capturers. There are two easy
hike-in options for significant others & spectators, one at the
start of the canyon & one at the finish line. We could do a
winner-take-all cash purse, or we could skip that. (I'm currently in
favor of braggin' rights
y nada mas, instead of mixing money
into it.) I'll prolly bring a keg for festivities, or else we can take
it to a proper establishment ... like I said, there are still plenty of
things to sort out. As details are solidified & teams formed, updates will be posted on The Range Life (http://TheRangeLife.com)
Please email me if you:
a. Want to register your team
b. Want to volunteer
c. Have questions or suggestions
thanks,
