We drove over the bridge about an hour ago and said “we should be out there. If it were just a bit warmer...”

Jane,
What a great idea!! Maybe we should commission a drone flight over our 2 common routes (downstream, upstream, what else is there?) and we can watch them while we erg! ?A unique club amenity. ?And for added excitement, we could have seasonal flights, in which at least one is with the river frozen (apologies, Andy!)

I wanted to share with you all that Hydrorow actually has a gorgeously filmed coached row from our boathouse south to the big foot. It was shot on a quiet summer morning and gives you as close a feel for our rows as you can get. These coached rows are really fun to erg to and you can use the app for free for a month. I just toss it to the big screen but you can attach the phone above your monitor and it’s still a pleasure. Blast the audio and genuinely enjoy erging for a change. The coach-rower is in a Hudson 1x and has great form so I think it is actually an improvement over my usual winter erging from a technical stand point. I highly recommend this C2 rower’s hack if you have not tried it.? Also, there are other great rows to chase, several coached by our own James Dietz. Though the Hadley row I’ve done was not James.?
Check it out: hydrorow in your App Store.?
Stay safe,?
