Aw, you're da Man!!!! Thanks!
I think I may have some RM stickers around too. I'll see what I can find. see you guys sometime late Fri morning maybe noonish
I'm bringing a non-monkey friend for fri-sun. Name's Matt. He doesn't ride that much, but he's a super friendly guy.
Hi Monkeys!
We just decided today that we will be heading up to KT this weekend too! As usual, we will be staying with the Joyces in Lyndonville, but we'll def have to swing by the lodge & say hello to everyone!
Best Monkeyfest wishes to you all! If anyone wants to borrow our inflatable green Monkey, let us know.

Cool! I'll add him in
Final details:
We can check into the Lodge after 2pm. There is a key lock box, but I don't know the combo yet.
What to bring:
pillow
sleeping bag/blankets
fan (if you want one on you for sleeping there is no AC)
swimsuit - for the river & we're bringing a kiddie pool to cool off in
towel & shower supplies
Beverages of choice - generally everyone brings their own booze and there is much beer trading/sharing
cash or check for your portion of the weekend
Lights for night riding
I will be doing the grocery shopping tomorrow, but right now, cost is looking like:
$65-75 per person for those staying at the lodge and
$30-35 per person for food only
Note: I'll give you your exact total when you arrive.
Directions to the lodge (in case anyone needs them).

Any monkeys have a spare 160-180 front IS disk adapter? I have a 160 rotor, need the adapter...would be happy to pay market price if I don't have to wait for mail order or pay $40 at an LBS...
what type of brake or does it matter?
I have one . I will bring it with me its for a front 160.
Just a post mount. It shouldn't matter, but it's a shimano XT. I need an IS-180 mount. I have the 160, which will be fine up there, but I want a 180 at some point for the future.
i'll poke around the shop and see what we have.
sorry all I have is the 160
Executive decision has been made to bring the stupid bike and ride Highland on Thursday.
Ok, so who's going to gun for the Strava KOM?

Sweet!!!!!
they don't even start in town like we did ! they miss out on 600 feet of additional climbing
See, Burke is shorter. Piece of cake.
barf. barf barf barf. barf barf. barf?
one year some folks did it. I had the pleasure of sitting, hungover, in the back of badDNA's truck instead of pedaling. I still got winded.
If other people are doing it, I'm dumb enough to throw my roadie in the car and give it a shot.
I know right...
IAB you could run up it....There's a STRAVA segment for that...lol

Great.... Now I might just have to bring my road bike to just in case this actually happens

Might ride it, but it'll be on the Heckler.
I tried finding the run segment but I couldn't. If I do bike up it, it'll be on the MTB. I'm only bringing one bike.
I'm one of the dummies who did it a couple of years ago. I;ll give it a go again, but on my Mt bike this time , want the granny gear.
is there a time limit?
you can measure my time in weeks...
I'll guard the beer while you guys have your fun.
How about if we start from the campground? Think we'll get lapped?
That's like jumping into the Boston marathon on Heartbreak Hill. Cheater!
I'd be up for Sunday. My plans are friday evening KT or Burke, Saturday KT followed maybe by a few laps on Burnham or a night ride, then DH on Sunday. If I die halfway up the hill on Sunday, I should be OK.
If memory serves, Westy, Echo and woody in the foreground.
That's me in the background; I got allez'eft behind.
Oh, that's harsh! You don't like drinking pee?
