September where did you go? The first day of autumn is around the corner and the Center is betwixt and between the feel of summer and the call of autumn. Rowers are happily sculling in camps and basking in the gloriously sunny days and warm afternoons. The gardens are loaded with edibles and dock jumping into Hosmer is still a post-row treat.

The GRP rowers are training steadily on the water for the Head of the Charles and for their upcoming Roll, Run, Row triathlon against Pepa's GRP skiers.  Getting faster on land as well as on the water keeps the rowers off the streets and out of trouble.All around the Center winter prep is underway: wood is stockpiled, trails are being homologated and building improvement projects are ongoing. And all around us the autumn colors are emerging.  So long summer, here comes autumn!
