Champlain Canoe and Kayak Series

Looking for a training alternative this Summer? Paddling is a great way to train for Nordic skiing and a lot more fun than going to the gym.
If you have a canoes or kayak, join Coach Rick this Tuesday night for the start of the weekly time trial series on the Winooski River at the Bolton canoe access on Duxbury Rd.
More information and details can be found on their website http://www.treeskier.com/cvcks/index.html  which  still shows the 2017 dates but it’s basically the same schedule this year.   Its $40 for the whole series or $5 per race. The money collected by Bert’s Boats of Jeffersonville is used to buy a kayak for a youth group each year.  While some people will have very fast race boats there always a few (such as Coach Rick) using a rec boat.  The atmosphere is very laid back and welcoming.  It usually ends with a beer in the parking lot at the end.
