Ocoee Downriver (OC1) Race

Post by philcanoe »

just testing the waters...

anybody interested in doing a Ocoee (OC1) downriver race ... might be a good summer-thyme thing... maybe a ribbon, real informal... GDI all the way, could do a mass start ... would only need a starter and finisher ... rafts in the drops/rapids would just add to the fun

if small could do on a weekend, just show up and go... if less than maybe twenty-five we ought to be good to go

...if got too large maybe a Sunday afternoon, or maybe a Friday?

any ideas or takers?

It was done, once, back in the early 80s. A friend of mine won, paddling a Blue Hole OCA. Some of us not dumb enough to race were swatting gnats, waiting with throw ropes stationed in strategic places.

I'd be up for it. Sunday afternoon would be a good, fairly uncrowded time. I manage a rafting company up here, might could help with some logistics.
