May Calendar
May 4th & 22nd Kayak the Savannah Near Augusta - depending on conditions we will launch at the Savannah Rapids Pavillion, or into the canal and portage over at Riverside Park. Then we will kayak the flat water of the Savannah River to downtown Augusta. We will pull out at the ampitheatre next to Boll Weevils. Conditions prevailing, expect the trip to last about 2-3 hours.
May 6th Pops Concert - Although this is not a 'sport event' this is a free oncert put on by the Augusta Symphony. Starts at 7pm at the Universtiy Healty center on Belair rd near Washington.
May 7th Augusta Canal Cruise and Cookout- see www.augustacanal.com
May 10th Bouldering on Local rock - we will be going to some local outdoor features. Problems will be more horizontal then vertical. This is a great oppurtunity to get back onto the rock or train for harder climbing.
May 11th Mountain Biking at Lick Fork Lake - located in South Carolina about a 45 min drive from where the I-20 crosses the Savannah River. This approx 6 mile course is maintained by SORBA and is pristine. It offers a somewhat challenging singletrack loop up and down hill..
