ACTIVE PLEASURES OF THE AGED: THE EPA

The Elderly Paddlers Association is a canoe and kayak racing group. Our unassuming commodorial factotum is Bob Sadosky, aka our TAPIOCA, Temporary Acting Provisional Interim Orchestrator of Coalition Activities. Founded a few years ago, EPA is rigidly unstructured. Has no constitution, no dues, no by-laws, no meetings except occasional lunches at Subway or China Buffet or other cheap beanery. We have no written archives. Living members are archivals but not arch rivals.

We race at Winton Lake Monday, Wednesday and Friday usually at 7:00 AM over a GPS-measured 3-mile course. Ages of seven members - 60, 61, 68, 71, 71, 78 and 91. Because of the age factor and
different equipment we use handicaps so as to finish reasonably close. We represent seven 5-year age groups! We have different boats - kayaks, recreational canoes and racing canoes and one Standup Paddleboard. We're 5'-4" to 6'-3", 125 to 215 lbs. We keep records of our finishing times, some of us for 11 years, and watch miserably how we get slower every year! At least the older ones!

We meet before the day's winds pick up and before the motorboat fishing folk set out. We usually balk if it is lower than 55 degrees and the wind is more than about 5 mph, which slows us considerably. After a race we may paddle gently up a few of Winton's tributary creeks for the shady beauty, the turtles, Black-Crowned Night Herons, Great Blue Herons.

Some of us are militantly retired, and the conversation pre-and post-race may be about trail bikes, BMW motorcycles, camping trips wherever, large alligators, grizzly bears, sports nutrition for performance, and diet and health. Join us if you dare. 513-771-5087.
