to the moon?

not too sure if my math is correct, but I think that the 301,000,000+- meters logged, convert to about 186,000 miles, we are almost to the Moon!

all with saratoga connections are welcome....

We have had rowers join us who have relatives in Saratoga, or skidmore connections... you dont have to live in saratoga.... although if you are local, it would make it easier for you to join us for the pizza party, or to raise a pint with us at the "Parting Glass" sometime.

I think this is what I was looking for, I am sure it is not perfect, but it helps give me an excuse to lose to my friend, who is 8 years younger, and 75 pounds heavier than me!

We have a pretty wide ...
