Two weeks off he said? On September 21 he said it? Start again for October 3, he said? Duh, that would be one week of racing missed, which isn't two weeks off at all, so revise; next event October 10 (starting from Tuesday October 6).
It'll be a change from the glories of autumn in New England as we wing our way across the Atlantic and wind up in Wales, for the Head of the Taff. (Some suggest that's why the welsh are called taffy.)
Hosted (in real life) by the Cardiff City Rowing Club this event over 3.5Km should get some scullers (well, maybe one) with origins in that area out of apparent retirement...
As for the last event, you can race 4x, 2x and 1x. Notify your crews by Friday 9 October, results to be emailed in by noon Saturday 10 October.
