RFTCC-Wingbiter Friday 7/15: Change of venue!

Weather permitting, at 6 pm, we will start from the rail trail parking lot in Collinsville, and ride a 25-mile loop through Burlington. After the ride, we'll head across the street to Collinsville Canoe and Kayak for a moonlight paddle. Bring a snack for after the ride, and money or a credit card--$25 to rent a solo kayak until 9:30 pm. Check it out! We'll grab dinner in Collinsville afterward.

Looks cool

Is this still the plan for Friday?? The weather looks good. I was on the Collinsville canoe site. You have to check in no later than 7:30. I think the ride would have to be shortened in order to have time to change and register. I have 2 extra kayaks (it's $5.00 to launch) if anyone wants to borrow one. You'd have to be able to pick it up. I live less than a mile away. I'm planning on going. I'm pretty sure Brett is also.

Greg I will be there. I think we should do about 15 mile ride or so. I will modify your route this way we are back in time.

Also we will need to leave at 6 pm sharp

Thanks, Brett. Are you going to post a route?

P.S. If you ride in triathlon shorts, there's no need to change! They're made to get wet!

Sounds fun, great idea CBRP I'm in and I think Gina will be too, doing a modified bike ride

Lets do this Ride This way those without tri shorts can have time to change and get ready for kayaking.

Sounds good to m. Just to be clear, at which park ride lot will we meet? (The only one I know is the corner of 179 and 44)

Or is this the parking area on rte 4 b/n c-ville and f-ton?

Tim it is the lot in the center of collinsville across the street (RT179) of the kayak place

got it! thanks see you there

I probably won't kayak because of my back. I will either ride longer if anyone else is interested, like a loop up Huntington and around, or, run while y'all are kayaking.

Riding to the ride from home. Leaving now. Planning to intercept on Barnes Hill or Claire Hill, unless I get to Collinsville before you roll.
