Hi everyone!
We've not yet heard anything from the team in Decize. However, the French national canoe/kayak organization has lots of info about the event (and Google gives a hand with translations):
"...Over 1400 boats participating this weekend to the famous international racing Decize. The opportunity for paddlers to try one last time before the French championships. Over 410 races are coming at a furious pace all weekend! ... Once again everything is done to make this race a success ..."
Paddlers on the course in warmup area
We've downloaded the day 1 race order (and perhaps results - we can't tell since there are no times listed). As we get access to more data we will publish it here and on the LCKC website.
By the way - one of the French tourism sites have a note about Decize:
"Decize is a charming little town that sits on a rocky island in the middle of the river Loire. It is surrounded by some fantastic countryside that is home to the famous Charolais cattle that produce France's finest beef."
B E E F ?!?!? Oh my goodness. Considering how cow-hungry the team is - they MIGHT want to warn the farmers! Lock up your cattle! Here comes LCKC!!!
