2008 Charlie Doyle Memorial Regatta Cancelled
Highway bridge construction has forced the suspension of Dayton's
annual Fall regatta. The I-70 bridge that rowers passed under as
they hit the starting line is being replaced. The temporary fill
has caused sandbars to spring up several hundred yards downstream.
GDRA hopes to resume our popular Fall event once the area is restored.

Fit Party and Chocolate Extravaganza
The great weather on April 5 rewarded the twenty five members who
headed over to Doug and Linda's place for a Spring kickoff party.
Chris set up his chocolate fountain for dipping all kinds of tasty
treats. Liala and Brian had a fit kit from JL Clothing, so that
people could size and order new team uniforms. Toss in a few rowing
videos and we all had a good time.
Docks launched March 29
The docks are now back in the water. Check the river temperature
using the USGS link. Take extra precautions or consider an alternate
workout if the water is below 10C(50F). Even above that can be a
problem if you flip, so consider using a wider boat or a team boat
for your first few rows of the season.
