Greetings! We have an important update! We are meeting up at the BLJ Rowing Studio on Ridge Ave just a hop skip away from the BLJ dock and around the corner from the Falls Bridge on Kelly Drive. 

The wind is about 17-20mph on land and about 30-40mph on the water creating choppy waves and rough currents to navigate which is not necessarily a pleasant experience.

We will meet at BLJ Rowing Studio, 4229 Ridge Avenue 19129 to meet Brannon and team, enjoy refreshments, and get lessons on rowing while Erging! 

Erging is the act of using an indoor rowing machine (ergometer or "erg") for fitness training, providing a low-impact, full-body workout that engages roughly 85% of muscles. It is widely used by competitive rowers and fitness enthusiasts to build cardio and strength by simulating on-water rowing.

We'll keep our eye on the wind and water for today. It's going to be a good time celebrating Love Your Park Week! 

Those who registered and attend will be invited to join BLJ Rowing on the water at upcoming events.

Make time for parking.
