We are planning the 3rd race of the Fall Winter Race Series on Robe Canyon of the SF Stillaguamish.

Due to time constraints for a couple of the racers we are meeting at 830 am at takeout on Saturday, Dec 15th.

Format is up for debate. Most likely it will consist of two mass starts:
-From above the first Class IV (above T1 now that it's cleaned up) to above Landslide.
-Below Landslide or Garbage to below Mrs. Robinson's.
I would like to time the racers but we may just use finish order.

Racers can race individually or in pairs/groups. Safety boaters and spectators welcome.

If for some reason levels jump unexpectedly, we will probably move the race to the Class III section upstream.

Note: this event is not affiliated with the Robe Race which is typically held in April

Brett I'll bring that IR top for you either way

Looks like we may get a bit of rain this evening/night. That would be good. If we get levels above 5.1, then I would like to rally a crew for 11-12.

Well, my weekend schedule is now pretty sacrificed, so my paddling is going to be occuring during the weekdays- have fun out there.

Anyone want to try to hook up a Robe lap or three between Monday and Wedsday this week? (Sorry for the off-race-topic)
