That's the plan.
Ideas? It would be nice to do something besides the Sky. Maybe we should delay till Sunday for more water?

if the water comes back up maybe another cc stilly, or a marathon on the green.

Robe would be cool if there's water...

Here's my vision for a different type of race on Robe:

We race 5-10 of the individual rapids as individual time trials. The emphasis would be clean lines through the rapids versus endurance through the flatwater.

It would take some effort to do the timing but I think we've proven we can do it informally using volunteers and racers.

It would be a fun way to experience Robe on a low water day, even if you are not racing it would be a chance to go down the run a bit slower than normal and maybe learn something new by seeing some fast lines down the rapids.

I guess Robe it is. Let's plan on noon at takeout.

Someone pointed out the Green isn't too low. Maybe that would be a good option.
We will make a decision tonight, check here for the final decision. If anyone has an opinion post here or contact me.

We are going to do the timed-rapid event on Robe on Sunday. Takeout at 11.

Sorry for the cancellation Will, I hope you still get out there tomorrow.

I'm in. Looks like levels will be upper 5's. Great levels to run it or race sections. Hopefully we have a big group.
