Gauley Race Report
Well, I think yesterday saw the largest group of C1's ever for the 13th annual Upper Gauley Race. Jay Ditty, Bernie, Norwood Scott, K1er turned Slasher afficianado Jeremy Laucks and myself turned up for an awesome race. We started as a class and had (mostly) good lines down the river. I don't remember all the results or times, but Jay finished at 59:21. We should try to get 10 C1's out there next year. Alden, Joe, anyone else out there who likes to go fast, come on. Racing season has started. See ya'll at the Russell Fork next weekend?

hey Will,
i take it you're getting geared up for the green narrows race??? i may come down this year, paddle in, and watch. I'd like to do some creeking with you again, but my schedule is booked this fall. one day i will get on the gauley and russell fork, ect. i once saw some video of a rapid called "Maze" on the russell fork and it looked awesome (minus the undercut). but for the time being i still have some unfinished work in New England - aka guidebook. it is sort of consuming all my focus now. but once that is out of the picture, things will change.

jeremy,
i take it youre the same guy who ran upper cherry with bobby this summer? i saw the pictures, it looked like a good time, although a bit low. i wonder if that river has been run in a c-1, most likely not and most likely it would involve some stepping up to the plate in c-1 (like really really hard).
