My big change of plans for the summer means some changes to the race schedule. As I mentioned in my last post, the venerable Blackburn Challenge north of Boston is scheduled just a week before my woodworking course in Maine begins, so I'm seriously considering entering that event. And the Ohio River Paddlefest is scheduled for a week after the course's conclusion, making it a potential stop on my way home.
Meanwhile, the Saline River race that was planned for this past weekend has been rescheduled for June 3. Since it's not far from home and I'm already registered, I reckon I'll probably go.
