Thanks again for everything, Mark!! Looking forward to this weekend!


OK, so it looks like the following people are up for a Friday noonish ride:

Team Deyv
MMcG
Douglas
Jackson
JBP
Pigboy
Splat
TreeSaw
Squirell
Me

Do we want to schedule a time/place to meet? How about noon at the bike shop?

Cool, cool! I wasn't expecting a ride like this Friday! :dancing:

NOON!?

not sure if we'd make that......

Well, whenever you can make it. :) If some people (like myself) get there early and want to start riding, we can keep checking back at camp to see who's arrived. There are a few trails around camp that we can keep riding over and over.

so for those of us that have to work friday and can't leave until after work (get there late friday evening) - I'm guessing its 7 hours from new jersey with NYC traffic - how late can I get there (some campgrounds won't let you in after certain hours). I'm going to try to get out of work pretty early but no garauntees...

Awww, c'mon man... we can get up early and make that ride. Then setup camp after, just in time for dinner and/or another ride.

Of course, I can say that because I have no idea how far this place is from your house.

As the slowest, most out of shape person in the bunch... I got dibs on the tail gunner spot in the group!

D'oh!!!! Sorry, Jim! Actually, I'd like my first ride to be in the campground neck of the woods. Dead Moose Alley, baby!
I heard from JT that they rerouted it? I hope it is still as fun.....jdcamb

If you're staying at the Burke Mtn campground, I'm not sure if they close the gates at night or not. I doubt it since I seem to remember seeing late check-in instructions posted at the gate. You can call 802.626.1390 to confirm.

I don't think NEGladerider has a curfew in place at his camp, so I'm sure you can "check-in" whenever. :D

Phil - I have a spare tent and sleeping bag, maybe a thermarest pad. You'd be welcome to use them.
I appreciate the offer, but Psycle-on and Tammy have a large tent and I'm going to crash with them. Thanks anyway!!

I'm thinking 4 hours....plus we were planning to convoy up with MMcG, and he's always late :rolleyes:

plus it would be nice to have time to eat lunch before we go out on a 3 or so hour ride

but, if you & MMcG want to do that noon ride...I'm in :thumb:

Douglas - my plans have changed quite a bit - I still plan to be there, but instead of convoying with you - I may end up driving myself from here in CT or riding with MBC and IAB.

Dog sitting problems have arisen and I'm trying to figure the whole thing out.

Anyone knows the freeride potential of this weekend. I don't want to bring the big guns for nothing.

Mark, any big stunts and jumps on your land like last year, it was a blast:thumb:

Any new freeride/dh trails worth a big squishy bike?

Thanks guys, with Squeak coming over from CO, I can only bring 2 bikes :angry: :D life is hard I tell you!

BTW. Stosh , I can't believe you are still not coming this year :(

Anybody like fresh tuna? I have a 3 to 4 pound tuna fillet that was caught last week in my freezer. I'll bring it if we have a grill to cook it on and if people are interested.

I'll be there this week-end for my 1st MonkeyFest. :thumb:

I will probably arrive Friday in the afternoon if I can find a babysitter for my baby because my girlfriend will work late Friday. Otherwise, I 'll be there in the same time as Jozz and Karine during the evening.

I'll have a tent with 2 rooms, so if somebody needs a place, you're welcome!

Just two more "dodo" before this great week-end!!!!!! Yeahhh!!!

It's right in the center of town. You pass it on the way to Monkeycamp. We should just plan on meeting at camp, since eveyone is staying there anyway.
I'll stop by the bike shop to get my Trail pass for friday , then proced to monkey camp.


So what time is the Night run down Moose alley going to occur :thumb: :thumb: :dancing: :evil:

Don't for get you lights !
