No almonds for me.

Just don't like or are you allergic? The oatmeal itself has almond milk and almond extract and then you top it with slivered almonds.

One is definitely out. He started DH racing this year and has a race at Killington that weekend, and the other is still waffling. I just sent him a final notice and let you know by tomorrow.

I am in for Thurs-Mon.

Excellent! Thanks for the update. Do you need me to bring anything special for the little one? Not sure how easy it is to bring things over the boarder and what-not

Any guess what's going on? Land owner Logging or trail building.

Repair - those trails have been getting really chewed up. I have been idly wondering whether I would survive Kitchell on my BMX bike.

I would like to see that.

I am envisioning BadDNA running down Kitchel with a beer in hand, and JBP in hot pursuit on his bmx....

johnbryanpeters · Jul 19, 2012

The bike will be in the van. Anyone else?

If you're asking, I'll give it a shot.

ICEBALL585 · Jul 19, 2012

Damn I wish I had a bmx, I'd give it a try (after a few beers)

one on the handlebars, one driving, and one on the pegs. we can do it.

I call pegs! That way I can bail if needed :rofl:

DNA · Jul 19, 2012

A couple/three things:
(1) I can bring a cheesecake or two. Will there be room in the fridge? I am open to suggestions as to what flavors.
(2) Any other non-riding significant others going?
(3) We won't be leaving until Fri. morning, but I can ride on Thursday if any monkeys are passing through NH. Highland would be an easy spot for a little light DH.

@ Treesaw: Don't need anything as for food for Baby Jasmine but, if you got one, you got room to carry and don't need it for the W-E, a playard to put her to sleep would be great. We can't bring ours since we are camping out the rest of our trip and the car is topped of with the rest of our gears....

@ DNA:

(2) Any other non-riding significant others going?

We are both ridding but since we got our daughter, only one of us is ridding at any time, the other one is babysitting....

D.2 · Jul 19, 2012

Confirmed that my +1 is not going to happen. I will be attending on my own.

I should have room for a playard...no problem! I thought you might need something

LOL! I thought about Mac-n-cheese, but it heats the oven up and thus the lodge so much. If the temps are not too hot (I'll look again on Sunday) then I definitely could!

I'm not allergic, just dislike the taste of almonds. Never had almond milk, though.

We got one of these for traveling. It packs up really small but is super stable.

I'm pretty sure SloMoJo is Out, I'll check with him tommorow.

also Keep me in the loop for Thursdays ride.

BadDNA said:
@DNA - I was also thinking of riding Highland on Thursday on the way up. If anyone else wants to join let us know.

Count me in.

johnbryanpeters · Jul 20, 2012

Thursday, hinges somewhat on details of Theresa and Earl's itinerary:

Option 1:
- A mile or so of my private singletrack in New Haven
- Sunny hollow/[that which must not be named] in Colchester
- Millstone Trails in Barre (or Perry Hill in Waterbury)

Option 2:
- Pine Hill Park in Rutland
- Green Mountain Trails in Pittsfield

Option 3:
- Whatever we invent

Yelo · Jul 20, 2012

I vote option 2 but will do whatever is decided, just need to know before monday morning if possible or having a way to join someone to know later....

I'll call Earl at work and see what he thinks after Syd's swim lesson.

What day are we going to LG?

Quo Fan · Jul 20, 2012

BigT said she's going to make me go to LG

D.2 · Jul 20, 2012

I'm up for anything on Thursday, but option 2 looks the most interesting. Count me in. What the heck is LG?

There is a slight chance that I will carpool with Mike but he has to depart on sunday and I really want to stay all the way through monday. So, assume that I'm there all the way until further notice. I will confirm by Monday.
