2023 Summer Monkeyfest
- Thread starter ICEBALL585
- Start date
I may have a non-monkey friend from MA joining us, not sure what his intentions are just yet and he may bring his family up to stay in the hotel for the weekend and just join us for some rides. I will try to keep you updated.
Hi Rob, if you're reading this!

Yay! Rob!!!!!!!!
If she hasn't decided yet, please tell her we would love for her to join us!! The more ladies the better!
@TreeSaw
Just to confirm for you - Mark & I have secured dog(Baby) sitters and are absolutely IN! Yay!
Also - do you have a total count / possible estimate? I know a couple of people who might want to join but they have young kids and $ will be a factor. Also is helpful for me since I don't make much anymore. lol
Cant wait to share bathrooms with you all again!

YEAH!!! It's going to be $200 per person (we actually need a few more people as the lodge is just over $3000 for the 4 days so that would only cover the lodge and not food unless we get 3-4 more people).@TreeSaw

It's getting close....are you in?
I am NOT in any shape....been battling a heel issue. I will ride and hang and drink some beers and make some food. You should come.

Also not "in shape"! Actually probably in the worst shape of my life right now - but it'll be a fun weekend anyway! Don't let it hold you back!
Alright, so you two are gonna go ride 350 miles each to make up for all the miles we don't do, and while you do that, we'll hang around and drink your beer for you. Perfect!
Sorry nerds, I am in. Will probably be up Friday midday and will leave sunday midday.
Have to blow the dust off the mountain bike. At least I just bled the brakes...last year.

...and he'll ride that many miles with a broken toe yet we're perfectly healthy-ish lol.
Cool. We can talk triathlon, power meters, smart trainers, and carbon fiber time trial bikes in front of the monkeys.
Does anybody still do night rides, or are those dead? My bike light battery is DED dead, and I’m wondering whether I should scramble for a replacement or not worry about. I know things are weird at kt and I don’t want to make it worse
We have lights and usually bring them...not sure if they'll get used or not, but we bring them.
I usually charge up my lights each year before coming up there but haven't used them the past couple years.
Planning to do the same. At least they'll be along just in case. Even if I don't use them, would be able to lend them out if someone else needs.
Probably be up there sometime around noon or so.
I'll be around and have Thu and Fri off. If you're interested, we could meet up for a mellow ride before the party arrives.
Yes!!!! Especially with Mark being out we definitely have space!
Menu planning:
Breakfasts: pancakes & bacon, breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos, ???
Lunches: Make your own sandwiches, chips, fruit, etc.
Dinners: BBQ pulled chicken sliders & coleslaw, pork tenderloin with salt potatoes, pasta dish (maybe a tortelloni), Greggah Chicken Subs?
Snacks: chips & salsa, fruit, something sweet, smores, blackstone nachos, etc.

This is short notice, but following up on TreeSaw's offer of airport pick-ups, if anyone is flying into Burlington and needs a ride, I can pick up and drive you over to East Burke.
I emailed him and he was on the fence/leaning no as his wife is undergoing surgery, but it's been a while since we hung out. Peer pressure!
If his wife's having surgery we should not pressure him.
Was planning on bringing rain pants, but weather looks MOIST next weekend:
I'm going to hope/assume the soil has less clay than ours...
Good beer drinking weather at least

Yup..I chatted with Petr today. She is having surgery on 8/8 so I told him no pressure but we sure would love to have him come and her if she's up to it. The lodge is a pretty chill place to relax and enjoy too!
