There seems to be a nice proliferation of kayak clubs and events in South Dakota, with a pretty active group out of Sioux Falls and Rapid City. I know we have a bunch of paddlers in Minnesota, and wonder if anyone might be interested in an inaugural race this coming September, in Pierre, SD.? It's the South Dakota Kayak Challenge, scheduled for September 11th - 13th, and is a work in progress. I'm unsure of the propriety of listing anything like this on Nicks' site (and don't see a link by which I can contact him - any suggestions?)
Hopefully, I'll get some feedback on this, and if appropriate and an interest, I'll post more info as it becomes available, including contact info with someone actually involved in this. (If not appropriate, please delete and send me a 'reprimand', eh Nick?)
