So looks like we've got 8 monkeys committed at this point:

Myself
MBC
MMcG
smelly
Echo
JBP
Wooglin (he'll be in the area, anyway)
jdcamb and crew

MBC and I have booked a room at the B&B BikeGeek posted earlier in this thread.

JT and his wife will be out of town that weekend. :(

I'm in. Sounds like fun. I've rode with MMcG when he's hung over, now I'll get to ride when he's drunk too.

Maybe if stuck trick candles to his head they wouldn't go out while he's riding.

As slow as I ride they would definitely stay lit! Bob it would kick ass if you could join us for the "Fest!"

At the risk of pulling a :stosh: , I'm going to say I'll be there with a few other "lesser-known" monkeys in tow. (Johnnyru, Ineluki) :thumb:

Seems like half the party every year is lesser-knowns or non-monkeys. :D

Sweep, it'd be very cool if you could make it! You'll love the Kingdom Trails.

It will definitely not be the same without Deyv and Isa! We will have to make sure we have Blanc de Chambly with OJ for breakfast in their honor :)

we should go with name tags this year.......there was too many faces to remember real names & monkey names

We wore name tags at MF1. Deyv brought them. :) I guess we figured at MF2, you 'Fest n00bs were on your own.

yea, no name tags. If it's really that big of a deal, the week of MF2, everyone who's going post a pic of your bike. All we really care about is what everyone's riding - names are not important.

I'll once again volunteer to lead a more "casual paced" ride (assuming of course I am going to get everyone lost). Maybe this year we'll actually join the ride. :think:

I didn't get the impression any of the rides at any of the monkeyfests were anything other than casual pace :think:
Are you saying you were bored with them? that they were too slow for you? That you are too good? huh? are ya?

"Deyv casual" is a little different than "Normal casual." :D
I thought we took it pretty easy, everyone always waited for everyone. Anyone on a SS certainly appreciates the rest time :D
