Sweet!if i can make it i can even bring some of the aboved mentioned bourboni just need to check the road schedule and make sure the team doesnt have a race scheduled that weekend
2007 Northeast Monkey Gathering - July 20-22
- Thread starter BadDNA
- Start date
Of course, we never drink at M'fest...
I did take a year off (from drinking) once
i think i will actually be there this year. it's too bad that the kingdom trails are so far from montreal, it would be cool to go in one night.
yeah, buddy, but you weren't there for round dos. I died on that one. Off the back all day. I hate that. The first time I had just gotten back from 4 weeks of backpacking and was training to climb these:
That would be AWESOME. Seriously, the Kingdom Trails are some of my favorite trails to ride in the country. The whole place seems like it was purpose-built for mountain biking.
question...would i be better off bringing which of the following:
A) Specialized Enduro ( with a Fox36)
B) Giant NRS Carbon
C)Fuji Team Issue HT (carbon stays)
Just dont be silly and bring a giant AC like me lol...lesson learned!
my last 2 trips I brought the rigid SS and had a total blast
so wait - what are the dates? I need to put it on my calendar.
All the current info is in the first post of the thread and we'll keep updating it as more detail comes out. July 20-22 are the dates.
No doubt! That's my choice for KT.
I'm there. SS hardtail.
Doug I'm not fast but if you can't find a real racer, I'll do that 12 hour duo at Pat's Peak with you. I'll even put some gears on my bike.
Westy needs to come to the KT this year.

I'd really like to but I will have to see what pain and suffering work will hand me this summer.
Actually, any of those would do okay. The enduro would probably be overkill for the majority of the terrain if you have other options. Hardtails are good for the kingdom, but the NRS may be preferable for a long day in the saddle.
Agreed. But, if we ever spend any amount of time riding the Burke Mtn. side "Freeride" stuff, the Enduro would be a good pick. I'd like to make a concerted effort to ride more of that stuff this year. Maybe have BadDNA or someone shuttle with their truck? So I guess my answer would be if you can bring more than one bike, I'd do that.
that'd bankrupt most people. buying beer for this entire crew should only be attempted by those with about one billion dollars to spare. we drink a LOT.
and the knee is obviously bent and in a cast.....
Capture the economy of scale. Kegger.
Burke Mt Shuttles! I'm in, especially with my new bike on the way.
FWIW: I've gone my last two trips with an '04 Enduro without any issues, so has Berkshire Rider with an '05. This year I'll be bringing it again, and if there's interest in shuttles I'll also be bringing my new Big Hit.
So Westy has just set the bar. All participants must come to MonkeyFest ready to consume an entire keg-o-beer(tm). Start your training regimen NOW!
(don't worry you have three days to drink your keg)
If four friends and I can kick two kegs in three days at a wedding party in Maine I have no doubt the monkeys can do even more damage at Monkyfest.
i would like to get out this summer and come to an event i would just need to borrow a bicycle i could bring a helmet and show up
My liver hates whenever I find myself in a large group of mountain bikers for a weekend.
There are generally lots of bikes around so I would bet we can find one that fits
I'm down with multiple kegs (we have to have variety people)!
BigT just told me that we are a go for Monkeyfest 2007!
Eammon, if you bring your Big hit, I'll bring my Craftworks. We'll have a full face day!
I just realized that that means I'll have to pack 4 bikes into my truck. 3 for me, and 1 for BigT.
Treesaw, can we get a bedroom? Is there one left? What is your current bribe?

Wow...sounds like a blast! What kind of costs would i be looking at? Is there car pooling to get there? I'm in CT.
Well, I may be kegging my brews by then instead of bottling. Who knows what (or how many) I may show up with.
Hmmm....there are 2 bedrooms with double beds and 2 large bunk rooms. The sofa folds out and then, there's the loft. Let me get my thinking cap on and figure this out.
Woot!!! The last sampling I had was good so I am definitely looking forward to more (and maybe a spin on the niner too)Well, I may be kegging my brews by then instead of bottling. Who knows what (or how many) I may show up with.
My third-born child for a keg of your hoppy goodness!!Well, I may be kegging my brews by then instead of bottling. Who knows what (or how many) I may show up with.
Wow! Does Kell knowMy third-born child for a keg of your hoppy goodness!!
Sounds like this will be a multiple bike type of weekend.
My Craftworks and Inbred 29er should fit the bill nicely then right?

I'm also going to have some homebrew coming up. For the hop-heads I'll try and save some of my IIPA and who knows what else I'll brew in the meantime.
Wow! Does Kell know
Shhhhh......it's a trick. We both know I can't have any more kids. :biggrin:
Last year's MF2 was funny....there wasn't much of a food selection between meals, other than chips and dip, but there were probably six coolers and a fridge full of beer.
I don't know what you mean...there's food in beer.Last year's MF2 was funny....there wasn't much of a food selection between meals, other than chips and dip, but there were probably six coolers and a fridge full of beer.
