59th Hudson River Whitewater Derby... May 7,8

[Sir Adam]

Anyone coming?

I'll be racing on Saturday (slalom) and helping with safety on Sunday (downriver) most likely.

Fun old school course, typically a great weekend of fun around town and the river.

That's odd - works fine for me! (I refreshed the page as well to be sure it wasn't just a cached version).

Google North Creek Hudson River Whitewater Derby - perhaps you'll have better luck that way.

Still works fine for me, but I'll mention it to the folks running it when i talk to them next.

Looks like a bit of rain this week; I'm hoping for a level between 4.5' and 5.5' on the North Creek gauge, which is what I consider a nice level to run that stretch in (lower and it gets a bit bony, higher and some of the rapids wash out between North Creek and Riparius).

[Sir Adam]

Awesome day 1 of the Derby - nice level (4.38'), nice folks. I think I had one clean run and one run we touched a few gates (2 or 3). Not to bad. Images and more info later.

Tomorrow's downriver should be good too.

[Sir Adam]

Nice to see Jaxstraw there... and bring home some hardware on Sunday:)

I'll post a few images as well as a link to the full results once they are posted.


Next year is the 60th - I hope a bunch of folks from here can make it!

Nice meeting you as well, Sir Adam.

What a fun weekend ! My introduction to racing leaves me wanting more . . . I'll be back next year.

Thanks to all of the amazing volunteers, safety boaters, and spectators. now we only need more racers !
