Club Events:

Blue Moon Row - Thursday, May 31st.  Come out for the regular Club row then we'll go out afterwards for food/drink.  (I know, I know, it will still be light during the row but if enough people want maybe we'll do a second lap.  Then again we can always enjoy the Blue Moon while sipping a cold one!)  I believe this is the last Blue Moon in the Western Hemisphere til December 31, 2009.
 

UMBC Spring Tune UP - Saturday and Sunday, June 2nd and 3rd.  Taking advantage of our new launch, UMBC is offering videotaping/coaching both mornings, starting at 7am.  The format will be meet and row with coaching by Bryan Hoffman.  Following that will be a video review and critique by Bryan and then a chance to row again working on what was learned from the video. Signup sheets at the boathouse and on the google group.
 
Kickball game - Saturday, May 19th.  Come out for the regular Club row then we'll head up the street and play kickball for an hour or so.  Sign-up sheet will be at boathouse.  We  need a minimun of 8 people per team.
 
Bike ride/breakfast - Saturday, June 23rd.  Come out for the regular Club row then we'll jump on our bikes and head up the trail towards Green Lane, + 50 miles round trip, (ideal for hybrid/mountain bikes).  We'll either stop for breakfast on the way up or on the way back.  Hey, it's a flat ride, you can do it and no one gets dropped.
 
Jack Trinsey Challenge - Sunday, August 5th.  As always the Challenge is held the first Sunday in August.  Come out and challenge yourself yet work as a team.  This year Terry O'Leary is the sweeper on the bike ride so come out and keep him company.  Sign-up sheet and more details to follow.
