^^^ Yeah, what he said. ^^^
24-27 July: Monkeyfest, the heresy
- Thread starter johnbryanpeters
- Start date
Don't leave me off that list!!
Details?
Don't know who is joining me yet. I have several people who say that they are but I've learned not to trust that statement.
I have up to 6 people interested (including Laudy) in joining us for MF, but I doubt they all will make it. Here they are if you want to add them as Maybes.
Mike Herzog (Mike broke his neck 3 months ago and can't ride, but may come for the beer and bacon)
Raj Dulala
Mark Hughes
Laudy Soifer
Matt Sekula
Will Hall

I recieved word that Mike Herzog will not be joining us. For those of you that know Mike (he came to MF with me two summers ago) he broke his neck (C2 vertebrate) 3 months ago on a ride with me. That was a truly horrible day. I'm happy to report that while Mike was seriously hurt and temporarily paralyzed, he is on his way to a full recovery and currently doing very well with physical therapy. His doctor told him that he can get back on a mountain bike next spring, so I expect that he will be excited to join us for Summer 2015 MonkeyFest!
STILL waiting on the contract so I can post them. These people are beginning to be worse than the Lodge when it comes to correspondence.
Aww...dislike. 
I'm on it....no worriesAww...dislike.
Crombie and I are thinking we'll bring the DH bikes/gear and try to hit up either Sugarbush or Killington one of the days during Monkeyfest.
Just an FYI in case anyone else wants to do a little DHing with us.

Sugarbush was wicked fun. I only ran the dh race course thou.
Ok we are nearing M-day and I am concerned about the lack of confirmed monkeys. Right now the list looks like this:
In:
BadDNA
Mudgirl
TreeSaw & Earl
JohnBryanPeters
Herb (Hobart)
Veronica
Eric
Mike
D.2 & 3
Melou & Yelo (+Jasmine)
Maybe:
Sandwich
Pesqueeb
Nick
irishblue76 & Mark
Muddy
That would make the cost about $200-220 per person (with 10 confirmed...I didn't count all of D.2's friends). At this point, the more who confirm, the lower the cost so quit flinging poo and commit people!

We are out.
I dislike this! Hope you a Theresa are well!We are out.
Still on the maybe list, vacation time available but...
Anyone got pictures and other info about the house? I am 100% comitted but 1 of my friends has declined and the others are still tentative. It's likely that we will get at least 2 more but perhaps only Fri and Sat night.
Anyone up for a Millstone ride on Thursday followed by mission to score some Heady Topper?
I will be staying at my parents place in Grantham NH on Wednesday night. They love it when I bring my MTB friends, so consider this an open invitation for a free place to crash and be fed excellent food for anyone who wants to start this party a day early. Seriously, I would really welcome a few of you to join me.
D2: Maybe and maybe. I just got tangled up with work again and things are odd.
doit doit doit...
It wouldn't be the same without you guys...
Would you guys be interested in Wednesday night? You will have a great time. My parents are very easy going and great hosts. They have a hot tub too! Think we can we Treesaw and Earl to join us?
My sister won't be over to dog-sit until Thursday. Can't make Wed night. Sorry. Sounds like a great time though, thanks for inviting us.

Just so people know what they're missing out on...got a link to the house site?
I would be up for Pine Hill instead of Millstone on Thursday if that's the consensus, as long as we work the Heady Topper aquisition mission in there.
There will be a Heady Topper run for sure. I wonder how many monkeys we can pile onto the floor in the back of my van...
Or we could fit more people on Crombie's bike trailer. Is it legal to ride on a trailer in the state of VT?
I don't even think it's legal to ride without a seat belt anymore. Damn nanny state.
And why isn't that you two haven't committed to join the fun yet?!? It won't be the same without you. Please come!Hi there old friends!!!!
I'm liking the ideas on the MF change-a-roony! Mark & I have been debating making a return to the MF crowd this year & this is making it very tempting! I like the idea to look at Millstone as an option... If anyone wanted to head up to Waterbury I'd gladly wait for you all at the Blackback Pubwhile you ride Perry Hill (?). Perry Hill made me cry a couple of years ago.
I'm going to have to talk to Mark about making an appearance this year.
Ok Woody - HarpoonFest is Sat-Sun in Windsor, practically just around the corner. Why is it that you aren't joining us for some riding on Thursday and Friday? There's gonna be a lot of beer drinking at that festival and you need to get some training hours in. We can help!
Just got confirmation that one of my friends (Matt) has committed. D2 +1 so far. I will keep working on the others.
Hey Treesaw, I am assuming that cost per head is the same regardless of whether you are there for 2 vs 3 nights since that's the way we've done it in the past. Can you confirm? I'm getting questions about a per night cost and am telling people that it's one cost regardless.
I'll post a few in a bit. Links aren't working on my nook.
