The past weekend was spent preparing (Saturday) and racing (Sunday) in the Thameside 2 race organised by the Reading Canoe Club which is a race of some 18 miles downstream from Caversham Bridge to the Longridge scout base below Marlow Lock.
The Saturday preparation went well, Matt was in the front of the boat and we elected to take the boat on a downstream run to Sonning Lock and return against the flow.
The river was rising significantly although the forecast for Sunday was even more ominous, with 40 mph winds and heavy rains.
We did well downstream and return although the flow was certainly having an effect on the boat.
A quick final check of the boat and off home to be ready for race day.
