Welcome to the site of the Lane Cove River Kayakers. We paddle a 12 kilometre time trial on the Lane Cove River every Wednesday starting at 6.30pm in kayaks as diverse as K1s to plastic seakayaks. Club members use the Wednesday time trial to prepare for the Paddle NSW Marathon Series, the Hawkesbury Classic and many other events.

Lane Cove River Kayakers is a marathon racing and fitness kayak club, based at Chatswood Athletic Field, corner Mowbray Road and Epping Road, Sydney. We have about 120 members, with a broad range in ages, and have forged a reputation of being a relaxed and friendly club. While competition is intense on the water, we are at all times very supportive of each other. We’re 13km from the city and a million miles from care.

Our aim is to have a well organised, safe and fun paddle that improves your fitness and skills. Please read the following so that you are aware of your responsibilities on and off the water.

20-08-2010 Do you enjoy reading the first-hand accounts of adventure racing which appear regularly in Kayak Kapers? There’s another one in the August 2010 issue. This time Matt Shields tells how stinging trees and heat stroke failed to stop him and his team finishing the 700km Cairns XPD race.

Also in this issue:
•  Matt Swann is elected the new President of Lane Cove River Kayakers
•  Tom Simmat and Steve Pizzey triumph in grizzly bear country near the Arctic Circle to win the 1600km Yukon 1000 – there’ll be a personal account by Tom in the next issue of KK
•  Cycling aficionados should read Derek Simmonds’ account of tackling three iconic races in the challenging mountains of New Zealand.

You can download this and earlier issues of Kayak Kapers free to your own computer.
