The Predictor Cruise

The Predictor Cruise is a 5 mile cruise at whatever pace you choose. You pick a time that you think you can complete the 5 Miler course in and then see how close you can come to it. The winners of the event will have the closest actual finish time to their predetermined time without going over. We'll have no-one sandbagging it just before the finish line. You must continuously paddle the final 1/4 mile.
This is a fun family event with classes specifically intended to encourage fun.

The Predictor Cruise Course Description

The Predictor cruise class starts at the same time as the 5 miler with a mass start from the Mayville Pavilion. Head upstream passing the golf course and bridge until reaching "Elvis Island" (2.5 miles). Turn around "Elvis Island" counterclockwise and come back to finish at the pavilion.  The finish line will be downstream between two buoys placed even with the covered band shelter at the Pavilion. Water depth varies from 1-6 ft deep. The current is negligible and the course has no weeds. All known underwater obstacles are identified.
