Default DC Fun Run 2011

OK, I want to put this out there for some input on when to plan this event.

I usually plan for mid Sept but have found the OC Bike Week draws people away. We always have a great time and want to have as many boats/people attend as possible.

SO .......

Due to conflicting other events and Bike Week I can plan to do this run on August 27 (which may be too soon after Patti has surgery) or on September 17 (which is OC Bike Weekend).

Thoughts and opinions please

Bill, I vote for the later date. I prefer letting it cool off a little for that run... since taking dips in the Anacostia or upper Potomac isn't exactly on my short list.

Bill a later date is fine with me. Like Jason said, swimming isn't safe until you get to Three Sisters. If we choose to stay in Old Town (which I will) later is better, some of the people that have slips up there start to pull their boats.

Any ramps down that way that can handle the 45 for launching/retreiving that is also safe for the tow vehicle/trailer instead of comming down by water ? Sounds like this may be a good event and sites to take in.

45Tripps,

I would probably suggest Goose Bay Marina as your best bet
