Check this out; if you can help volunteer at any of the tune-up sessions or at the race, or want to find a relay partner, etc. Also, Scot & I could use a couple of volunteers on race day for the bike transition. thanks.

Like the Bix and the Bix at 6, River Action is going to do a series of Tune-Ups for Taming of the Slough. As part of that, they will have kayaks and canoes available to try (for free) at each of the Tune-Up dates, and the Sylvan Island trail steward will have a 3 mile course set up at Sylvan Island complete with patrolling by NMBP and trail ambassadors at each of the Tune-Up dates. (They will not have a running course specifically set up, but interested parties can get their running miles in on the bike path).

There will be a party after each of the Tune-Ups with food and drink specials at Bass Street Chop House. Mark your calendars!!!!!

Tune-Up dates:
8/20/09 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
8/27/09 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
9/3/09 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
9/10/09 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM

Taming of the Slough race date: 9/19/09

Will they still have a bike section with the rain we just had?

[Bexter]

Talked to the trail steward and he said that more than likely given all the rain that all that will be rideable will be the crushed lime path that runs along the perimeter.

What will they do if it rains before the race?

[Bexter]

They will more than likely run the race unless the storm was so torrential that it rendered the trails unsafe for participants. Sylvan Island is resillient.
