Mid-Week Sea Kayaking/Networking in the LBC
This location is shown only to members
I get it. With not everyone working, we are all doing "this and that" to make sure ends meet. So how about scheduling some low-cost, but super fun things to do?
The Plan:
Lets do a little sea kayaking and bike riding in the LBC. Boats, Bikes, Blades and of course Beer. Load up the car or take the Metro Green Line to the LBC. We will meet at the Bayshore Aquatic Park for the BOATS (sea kayak) portion. We will sea kayak until we get our fill.
After cleaning up we will gear up on our bikes and peddle to the park, where we will take in lunch that you provide. Can you smell the salami and fromage? Mixed with a few wheat thins and your favorite elecrtolyte replacement mmmm yummy.
Sufficiently powered up, we can bike or blade down the Long Beach/Belmont Shores bike path. After getting our fill on the bike path, we will find a suitable drinking establish and have a few beers.
The day is slow paced and easy going. If you haven't seen the jelly fish or the great heron flying around this area, you are in for a treat. It will be a long day so plan accordingly! We will start promptly at 11AM and go to about 4:30PM. If you need to end early - no problem.
Cost:
$35 to use the sea kayaks. We need a minimum of FOUR people to sign up. Bring your own lunch. Bring some cash for your favorite distilled beverage when we are done.
What you are renting:
We have access to 5 sea kayaks - 2 doubles and 3 singles. The last 2 people to sign up will share the double. In addition to the kayak everyone will have: a paddle, seat back and PFD (you don't have to wear it but you be required to have it on the boat).
What to bring:
It is cool on the water - dress warm. Layered upper body - fleece works really well and a wind breaker or water proof jacket.
It is cool on the bike too. The layers you were wearing on the kayak will work well on the bike. I'll be brining cycling shorts, helmet and a water bottle. Eye protection is very important as is sun block.
Bring your laid back, easy going, sense of humor. Questions - give me a shout: 310.230.5520

Will the bike path portion be a workout or just a cruise?? I'm up for whatever, just gotta decide what bike to bring or the skates!

It's not about biking. It's not about kayaking. It's about chillin' and enjoying everyone's company :-). With that said, is everyone bringing a bike?

Yeah I am confused now too. Boy a lot can happen in a few hours. So look based on what I was reading this AM, I cannot bring my bike. But that shouldn't change what you guys do!

NoraThanks Chris, it was a great day and a great place to be kayaking; going up to the breakwater and watching the big swell coming in the channel was cool.
