its always been that way, last year was the exception, but the sacrifice for less distance to the marshalling was a more cramped paddlers village.

hmmm i think i would rather cram with other paddlers (spread the paddling lurve!) than race across the site through heavy crowds and stuffing my ninja elbow in little children's faces that are in my way!

   those kids better watch out then... or they'll have a taste of CF paddle or sex wax in their mouth too.

If anyone cares:

Navigational Chart:  Please note the race is east by north east course towards the north side of science world (the round bump on the east edge of false creek).  In theory there should not be any disadvantages to lane assignment.


Tide Chart: Saturday AM races will be against the tide, Saturday PM races will be with the tide.  Sunday mostly against the tide, but the late afternoon races will be with the tide.


Weather Forecast:  I sure hope people are going to be bringing their tents & canopies.

anyone know if we'll get roughly the same amount of space in The Village or more?  What with the bring your own tents thing, is it going to turn into a circus?

Really Luke?  Shocked?  Didn't he leave you with an experience of this sort last year?

can anyone confirm that we have tents for this weekend?   just drove by pacific street and saw rows of tents in what i think is racer's village.   

[Colossus]

in the emails from the race director, there will be a shortage of tents for all the teams that are going to be there.  out of town teams get first priority.   something like 20-30 teams will "be without".

Who cares about tents, we will all be wet anyways, Synergy has all those teams and they like to get everyone wet after a race anyways  .

Not many predictions this year, people are afraid to make a list?

After looking at the race grid my prediction is:

1. FCRCC A (are they as or stronger than last year?)
2. Masters of D'Zone (do they have what it takes to take the crown away from FCRCC?)
3. Gorging (heard they have been gearing up for a run at the race offs)

Anyone in the top 3 can win it, who gets the better finish wins it.

4.  Calgary
5.  Portland
6.  Bald Eagles (they get better with age or the balder they get  ?)
7.  Pacific Reach (first DB race this year, can outriggering improve last year's finish, they have also lost some people from what I hear)
8.  Laoyam Eagles (wildcard)

Interesting 1st races that I think may see upsets:

Race 10 - Eye of the Dragon takes it
Race 12 - W3 and JDA, should be W3Media but who knows
Race 22 - Wasabi, Synergy, depends on who is on Wasabi
Race 24 - Pac Reach 2, Killer Guppies, Killer Guppies takes it

Do the teams get racers pass this year??

yar, we got ours this week.

[richard]

Where do we get them?

Where do we get them?

Its in the team race package which the team managers should have obtained by now. If not check with your team manager as he/she would have been in the loads of emails that the race registrar sent out. I know my freaking inbox is full of them as my wife is team manager for a team! LOL

     Hmmm I'm sure its just a typo in the revised schedule, but it would appear that FCRCC and Extreme Reach have already been given the wins in their respective heats!!! They are both already in Race 35 while the rest of us actually have to qualify. LOL  In fact after further review there seem to be a few teams that have been given the win without even paddling yet!!

I think we are still waiting for Guido and his predictions...

[Guido]

Whatever happened to Forum Moderators?  This thread went all OVER the place !!!!!

You want MY predictions?  You can't handle my predictions.....

Well...since you personally sent me an e-mail to post my predictions...here goes....
Used to be so easy....now....it's tough....I will apologize to those that I may have not given enough credit to...thus you will prove yourself to us this weekend.

1) FCRCC "A" (They need to do it mentally)
2) Masters of D'Zone (race is at 4:48pm...must take their meds by 4:15pm)
3) Gorging Dragons (Haven't seen them...inside sources say they are younger and stronger)
4) FCRCC "B" (Will be there but are still fumbling around)
5) Pacific Reach (only seen them in OC6's..bastards took forever to catch me and cut me off!!!!)
6) Pemberton Bald Eagles (Experience will still prevail)
7) W3 Media.com (was reluctant to put them here..spot may go to a US Team)
8) Laoyam Eagles (A little older and wiser)
9) Edgewater DWW (again...need to have a good semi)

Possible nominees...
1) Portland paddling club
2) XTREME Reach

Happy now?

Yo paddle"boy" .....got anything to say?
