Please RSVP as soon as possible. ALL RSVPs are important. It is possible for a race to fill up before we know we have enough people to go, so early RSVPs are essential. Please RSVP:
Yes if you know right now that you will be going. We will see you on race day!
No if you are sure you are not able to come. Please list a reason, if possible. A No RSVP helps keep the coach from spending time calling to recruit folks who have other obligations on race day.
Maybe if you still need time to think about it. Please comment what is behind the Maybe so organizers can keep an eye on your likelihood to attend.
Dates - Race Days are July 4 through 6. Training days are July 1 through 3. Be prepared to fly as early as June 30 (depending on our training time). Plan to fly out July 7 or very late July 6, as it is difficult to predict how late racing will run July 6.
Cost - We have no historical basis for estimating costs for this race. Last year's CanAms were the most expensive race we've ever attended, and the cost was about $1200 per person. Due to the elevated costs of this race, RSVP will require a $100 deposit. This will help with deposits on pre-arrangements for things like lodging. It is non-refundable, unless you are not selected for the crews. You should expect a billing for balances of costs in late spring, and again after we return.
