Anyone coming from the MTL area? I'll be driving there so if anyone wants we could probably take a few extra passengers.

Whats the address of this place?

One other note. If you are bringing your camera to take pictures if you wouldn't mind bringing your cable to download your pictures to my laptop. I would like to put together a video/photo collage video using everyone's data if I can. Here are a couple quick ones I made recently. I usually can never get everyone's data to finish them.

Cool! I'll have to find my camera cord...our printer & laptop have built-in card readers so I haven't used them in ages.

I have a multi-card to USB reader you can use, that's what I use rather than cables. Works for pretty much every type of memory card cameras/phones use.


On that note, I may take Friday off and head up in the AM after all......I think I may want to do some shuttles as well as XC stuff, so 3 days of riding would enable that better than 2.

Sweet! The DH/FR stuff is all closed at Kingdom. We're planning on going up on Friday too...debating stopping and hitting Rutland on the way (otherwise, we'll hit it on the way home Sunday). We can get into the Lodge after 2pm.
