Paddle the Wenatchee Event on April 24th, 2010

Marco, NOT on the Wenatchee run.

Last Sunday when I was videoing a bunch of guys running Tumwater I ran into Marco Colella and Jean-Luc Robicheaux, two amazingly good Leavenworth paddlers who are working at getting more people involved in whitewater kayaking through their World Kayak ‘Paddle the Wenatchee’ blog and various events.

Marco asked me to pass along an invite to one and all to join them on a beginner-friendly Paddle the Wenatchee play run this Saturday, April 24, 2010, brought to you by World Kayak, Crossfit Cashmere and Leavenworth Moutain Sports, here’s the scoop:

Jean-Luc, NOT on the Wenatchee run.

- Meet at 10 a.m. at the Cashmere Riverside park (click here for the Google Map link).

- Show up as early as 4:30 pm at Crossfit Cashmere for a 6 pm showing of “Dream Result” by River Roots.  Crossfit Cashmere is located at 253 Independence Way, behind the Cashmere Valley Bank in the big red and white buildings (they say it can be confusing but just look for the red and white buildings and they are in there – here’s the Google Map link.)

Bring your own chairs, and kids are welcome.  I got sidelined this week by the Mother of All Colds so don’t know if I will make it, but I think this is a great opportunity to make a first spring run down the Wenatchee with some world class paddlers, so I highly recommend!

For more info you can also call Marco at (509) 699-0413, or Jean-Luc at (360) 319-2865.
