The venue at the BIRC. Big screen is not seen by the competitors, but the 2 boats in front of you and behind you in the race show up on your monitor.

Linda after rowing a PB at the BIRC. Tired but happy, otherwise known as legless but smiling.

Linda and Jim after the BIRC. Notice the Eh!Team uniforms!

Keep on rowin', eh.

I think I read on the UK forum that you were at the BIRC. Look very sharp in the uni's. Two weeks in G.B. sounds like a great vacation..... I would need quite a portion of that time to complete a 2k race.

Waving hello to all hosers (though I confess the full meaning of that term still escapes me

)!

Great pictures from BIRC, Jim! Those AIOs really look sexy on both of you! Congrats to Linda for even achieving a new PB there!

Keep on rowing, eh!

The term "hoser" refers to an era in hockey before the ice resurfacing machine came into use. The losing team had to hose off the ice. The term "hoser" can then be construed to mean loser.

The term "hosehead" comes from people who would siphon gas from farming vehicles with a hose during the Great Depression of the 1930s.

And. . .

Cool! Where can I get an Eh! Team AIO?

40,000,000 meters! Great rowin' hosers.

Brigitte, nice to see you still lurking here with us. I hope things are well. The BIRC was fun. Nice to meet lots of other ergers. How has your life and rowing been going?

We got the base outfits for the Eh!Team at Regatta Sport and then had the flag and words embroidered by a local seamstress.

We now have 62 members on the Eh!Team and have moved up to 8th spot in rankings.

Our trireme is now off the coast of Baja, Mexico near San Quintin.

Keep on rowin', eh.

We are blasting up the coast of California. Here is a picture of the Hotel "del" in Coronado (San Diego)
Great place for a rest, one of the american classics.

Keep on rowin', eh.

We are smokin' up the coast of California, hosers.

These folks in Half Moon Bay, California are watching our boat head up the coast. Doesn't one of our Eh!Team members live around here somewhere?

Keep on rowin', eh.

Does someone want to take on the role of managing the Eh!Team for the

January Virtual Challenge?

Keep on rowin', eh.

I have set us up as the Eh!Team for the January virtual challenge.

Contact me if you would like to join the JVC. Try and coerce some of your friends to join too. They do not have to be members of the Eh!Team virtual online group to join us on the January Virtual Challenge

I need your first name, last name and e-mail exactly as it is on the c2 website to add you.

Let me know.

Keep on rowin', eh.

Hello!

Let's put a Eh! Team Mens Four into the competition at the CIRC in February!

I'll be willing to put up the $40.00 registration fee if you tell me who else wants to be in the boat.

Registration is now open!

I hope to be in the Senior Masters in the morning (I am not a morning person) but will stick around to help out in the four later.
Not sure what use I'll be though...only 6+ hours between events. At least its only 1K for the four.

Great to see you guys heading for the CIRC. Good luck.

Our coastal row boat is coming up on 43,000,000 meters and we are now off the west coast of Vancouver Island. I have done some on the water paddling in a canoe through here years ago. It is fantastic country. If you ever get a chance to go to the Broken Group, take it.

Let me know if you want me to sign you up for the January virtual challenge.

Our eh!team continues to grow and we have moved up to number 7 in the rankings. Well done, everyone.

Keep on rowin', eh.

I'm in!

It's taken a while to get back on the erg after summer, being part of a team is a bit more motivation.

Thanks Jim.
