Rappahanok @ Remington 4ft

Woodberry Forest's Rapidan Program headed out on Tuesday to paddle the Rappahanok again.  This time we used the WMA's alternate put in which resulted in a fantastic shorter run of all of the good stuff.  The river level was 4ft (which was a good bit different than Friday), however, still a great time.

The Woodberry Forest Riding Tigers headed out to the Blue Ridge School for a fantasic display of high school mtn bike riding.  The shorter style course had the Varsity racers doing four laps and the JV guys doing two.  All of the Woodberry guys really put it on the line out there.  The race was very fun to watch and a huge congrats to the guys for their effort.  Look for the guys at the next race in Williamsburg VA!
