Tempting. Maybe next year. I will have to train and find a partner who is willing to do it with me. The longest race i have doen this year is a one day 10.5 miler and I have a long way to go to bet back in shape.

The Jensen Handicap is Aug 16, starting at the Anoka County Fairgrounds. yknpdlr, The 90 mile is a serious race and i am too intimidated to try it so far.

Any Minnesota paddlers, there are a few local races in the twin cities and nearby. https://www.enduranceunited.org/long-lake-lap-2026 The long lake lap is a local race around Long Lake in New Brighton next saturday. 4 or 8 miles. The Minnesota Canoe association has a list as well...

I have canoe covers and like having them on my canoes. Over the years i have seen the color of the fabric lighten and degrade, and assume that the cover is taking the brunt of the UV damage. The canoe sits on my car at work so I can paddle at the end of the day. It takes about a minute to...

Might I suggest a Wenonah Advantage for a solo canoe. I have one and love it.

if you have a foot strap attached to the footbar, it is easier to lean the canoe when making a turn. I like it when the water is a little rough as well as it helps brace myself.

The Minnesota Canoe Association may be able to help you connect. mncanoe.org there are members everywhere I think with a preponderance in the twin cities. I do know there are some canoe racers in Duluth, but do not remember their names. hope this helps. If you come down to Minneapolis there are...

Not for me. i'm limited to one solo and one tandem. one in, one out
