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.
