Itinerary:

Please join us for a brisk December afternoon paddle on the beautiful Chattahoochee River, beginning at Azalea Drive. We will be going at a faster pace this afternoon to beat the sunset (but bring a light just in case).

This will be a 9 mile paddle on mostly flat water. We will be going downstream & upstream, there is typically not much of a current on the way back up, but with recent rains expect to work a little bit more. This isn't a sight-seeing event as much as it's a workout event...we're all killer, no filler ;)

Please arrive about 15-20 minutes early to off load boats and do a meet & greet for new (or returning) AOC members. We'll be in the water at 3:30 p.m. SHARP!  #PaddlesUP

As I looked back in my past events this VERY paddle event was one year & one day ago...LOL. I guess I get that hydro-bug at this time of year!
