6 racers that train at Maidstone Canoe Club entered and participated in the Essex Winter Series race at Cambridge this Sunday, 5th Dec. We had a great day racing on the river cam where the distances varied from just over 5 miles to just over 7 miles depending on which 'class' of race we were entered into. This is a series of races which keeps racing going over the winter and is often enjoyed by Maidstone racing paddlers. The first in the series was on 7th Nov in Bishop Stortford. Catherine is paddling with a lady from Bishop Stortford and so far they have come 11th/21 and 12th/24 however they are in the lead for the Ladies K2 crew having been the first ladies crew in eah race. Tom and Steve are doing a great job in their K2 race too having only just started to race together - this was their 2nd Race. Leanne is winning her category, K1 ladies and Aaron has placed in the top 4 on both of his so far. Bryn has had a couple of mishaps and we are routing for him for the next race which will be in January and the great thing about Bryn is that he is always so keen and takes everything in his stride. He is racing in the mens K1 Vets.
