Actually, DB, isnt' this the class in which you'll learn how to self-rescue? Never a bad thing, to know how to heave yourself back into a 'yak. Even if you never tip your boat, knowing how to get back in just in case can definitely increase your confidence level. Not to mention, it's fun to practice.
The bike ride sounds like it might become an annual thing, so you could possibly do it next year. And, with the chance of rain on Saturday, which would you rather have get wet: your bike or your kayak?

"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

Well, then, do those of who aren't kayaking or otherwise engaged want to meet somewhere?

I haven't been to the book fair before, either. But Neil Gaiman's reading from his new book in the young adult/children's tent and I really want to go to that.
They're now calling for a 50% chance of rain on Saturday morning, of course, so now I don't know what I'm going to do about the bike ride 'cause I have no rain gear. I think I'm going to stare at the weather reports and debate it between now and tomorrow when the early registration closes. Blah
