Rowers in the Pacific Northwest use the Vikes Fall Classic Regattas to mark the transition from fall to winter training by rewarding themselves with incredible racing during the day and enjoying the hospitality of Victoria in the evenings.
Head of the Gorge encourages and awards a prize for best costume and that gives the entire event a festival atmosphere.
