Forecast looks AWESOME for the 14th Annual Battle of the Bay race this weekend. By that I mean potentially windy, wavy and if lucky some surfing with light showers. We've been racing in hot, flat, sunny conditions all summer. Time for a change!

Hi there, Cow Patty Pageant racers and supporters!

Unfortunately, we have yet to find a new organizer for the event, so the CPP will not happen this year. We're looking forward to finding someone (or more than one) who loves the event, would like to see it keep going, and will take up the reigns. If you have anyone in mind, or if you'd like to do it, please DM me. Have a great racing season, fun adventures, and an udderly fabulous year!

Hi folks, a reminder we're looking for a new organizer to take on this mooovelous event. There is no date set for this year, yet, as the organizer will need to set that... to be sure they can be there. :-) Spread the word!

I'll help whoever steps up, but this needs to be done very soon so the event can take place this year.

Hello Cow Patty Pageant racers and supporters,

Reaching out as I won't be able to continue organizing the Cow Patty Pageant. It's been an honor and a pleasure to host since 2016.

A new organizer needs to be found very soon, so the date can be set and they have time to get prepared.

Please spread the word.

If you'd like to take it on, or know someone who would like to, please let me know. I'll help the new organizer get sorted and ready for the event.

Cheers,
Elizabeth

Hello racers, volunteers and CPP supporters! Thank you to everyone who participated! We had a moooovelous turnout, folks...

Hello racers, volunteers and CPP supporters!

Thank you to everyone who participated! We had a moooovelous turnout, folks new to the race, and looked like a lot of fun was had.

A huge thank you for all the volunteers and land support! You all are the heart of making this event happen.

There was drizzle and wind, but the weather gave us that window and held off the worst of its torment until the last two cars left.

Race results are posted on Paddleguru (https://paddleguru.com/races/29thMostlyAnnualCowPattyPageant2023/results) and below are the results. One is overall (updated to separate the event and show order of finish) and the other is by division.

Thanks again, y'all!
