I have posted the midyear “official” Houston Canoe Club mileage log to our website (login, go to “Documents” and select “Mileage Logs”), or click here to download. Paddlers listed are only those who have accrued mileages on Houston Canoe Club events, or others for which we had a canoe club member willing to take names and tabulate mileages AND it is listed in our Events calendar. The end in mind is those coveted “100 Miler” awards at the conclusion of the calendar year.

We have several prodigious paddlers at midyear, already over the 100 mile marker and in some cases, way over the 100 mile mark. Thanks to Bruce Bodson and Kent Walters for coordinating high mileage events, but every mile counts for shorter distance events as well. What really counts is that we are all having fun out there on the water and the objective of the canoe club is facilitating those miles and smiles. All our trip coordinators are volunteers. If you would like to paddle more local trips, even short ones, we would love to have your help in coordinating and organizing them. Even in the heat of the summer, there are fun places to paddle. Your friendly Fleet Captain would be happy to help you with the paperwork/organization that is required. It’s not a terrible load, and think of the satisfaction from assisting more folks in getting out on the water.

As of the June HCC meeting, here are the already-minted 100+ mileage paddlers:

David Portz	232.04
Bruce Bodson	149.34
Kent Walters	132.65
Brent Hwang	125.01
Ken McCormick	112.03
Amy McGee	100.5
