CHUCK WAGON TRANSPORT - We are in need of a parent to transport the chuck wagon from the regatta to the high school. After the tent and food equipment is loaded, a parent with a SUV/truck with a hitch will transport the chuck wagon back to the HS. Please let Joe O’Keefe (201-486-6184;
[email protected]), Katie Saladucha (201-344-1942;
[email protected]), or Ann Hida (917-664-7681;

We need to fill these positions in order to be eligible to race! Unfortunately, we will assign the duty to parents who have yet to volunteer this season, if no one steps up to fill these positions .... Please sign up on Instateam to Volunteer! We need your help! ALL LIGHTWEIGHT ROWERS !!! must bring valid ID for weigh-ins at all regattas. Please remember to bring along with you! - WEIGH-IN TIMES – April 15, 2018 – 7 – 9 am: at St. Joe’s Boathouse and Vesper Boat Club for girls and boys 12 noon to 1pm: at St. Joe's for girls. REGATTA INFO For all new Crew parents! Welcome to the 4th Manny Flicks and to seeing what all of the hard work that your awesome children have been working on this year so far will lead to! A few pointers from those who are old hands at it now: DIRECTIONS There are 2 routes most people use to get to Kelly drive. Some come from the usual route that GPS will take you from I-95 and through eastern part of Philadelphia near the museum and on to Kelly Drive. Please be aware that there always seems to be some sort of Walk-a-thon, Marathon, street fair or accident that will always delay you! It never fails, the later you are running to see your rower, the worse the Philadelphia traffic will be. If you are traveling super early or later in the day this is a good option. The other option is to come from the North which will drop you at the top of Kelly Drive via the Schuylkill expressway. That can get congested as well, but not usually as much as the Eastern approach. Please see the included map. For GPS, put in: City Avenue, Kelly Drive, Philadelphia. Printable directions to the Schuylkill River can be found on the RC website: http://www.ridgewoodcrew.com/schuylkill-river-philly.html PARKING When you get to the beginning of the regatta area on Kelly Drive anyone without a parking pass will be directed to park up the hill. Parking can be tricky, especially for the larger regattas. There are a few sites to park in Fairmount Park which is above Kelly Drive, but the map shows the easiest and closest to our tent to park. The parking fee is around $15. You will have to walk through the woods and there is a steep hill (but only for 10 feet and it is very doable) to climb down which will lead you to Kelly Drive. This is the quickest way to get to our tent, but you can also walk down the side roads, but will take you much longer. There are also trolleys that make the loop but it does take some time. Make sure you allow at least 20 minutes to park and get to the RC Team Tent. POINTERS Make sure to pack accordingly to the weather. It can be very cold on the river even if it is a mild day. If there is chance for rain, definitely bring boots and rain gear as it becomes very muddy very quickly. Ridgewood has its own port-a-potty and we have extra TP, but always best to bring more. Bring your camera and binoculars, chairs or a blanket as there are only spectator stands at the finish line of the racecourse We will have a welcoming table this year. So get your name tag lanyard with a picture of your rower and then we can get to know everyone. Most importantly, enjoy the beauty of it, and how impressive your athletes are! We are so excited to have the whole team together to race for Ridgewood! If you have any questions, you can call me at 201-344-1942 or send me a message on Instateam. Good luck and Go Wood!
