I know what you mean...their rental site claims that both big beds are kings
I'd actually prefer a bunk. They're roomier than that second bed.
Fall monkeyfest - Oct 8-11
- Thread starter Sandwich
- Start date
I've been looking at the maps, planning my weekend and I think I've got it all figured out. I have to head over to Lake Champlain on Monday to close up the summer place for the season so why not make a couple of detours.
Friday on the drive up: Millstone Hill, Barre VT
Saturday: Kingdom Trails with the rest of the gang
Sunday morning: Bromont (bring the big bike)
Sunday night from Bromont: Lake Champlain
Monday on the ride home from LC: Pine Hill Park, Rutland VT

What time do you anticipate hitting Pine Hill Park on Monday?
i may not be able to go after all. inventory is that weekend but i'll know more this thurs. i should be able to talk my way out of it
If you want to pick a time I can try to work it to meet you.
You better Mr
It'll probably be early afternoon for us as we've gotta pack up and clean the lodge, but we'll talk and figure it out.
Did Mark ever call/text/email you? He was talking about stopping at Millston on Friday also & I told him he should see if we can coordinate with you...
I haven't heard from him yet but I think that's a great idea.
Depending on Becky's plans I may abort this stop. She's going up to the lake with my parents and our dog. If they are coming home with me I doubt she'll want to stop, the dog can't go with us so someone would be left sitting with her while the other rides, not very fun.
hhmmmm Millstone or Harpoon.......
Maybe we can have breakfast at Harpoon & then go ride Millstone? Beer breakfast? Do they even do that? mmmmmmm
Wow, this place looks pretty awesome! I just sent the website url to my friend Christine, who's coming up with me, and she said she'd love to check it out. So, depending on how the weather pans out, we'll probably hit it on our way up to E. Burke on Friday, or possibly Monday morning on our way home.
Pine Hill was fun! Mark & I rode there on our way home from the last Monkeyfest.
Does it have "facilities" where we could change our clothes and fill up our camelbaks?
No, it is lacking in that department.
Haven't you learned to change in a parking lot?!
Isn't the lodge only like an hour from both places?
Actually I usually go run into the woods and change behind a tree. MUCH easier than trying to futz around in the car. I've pulled muscles doing that!! Yeah, I'm coordinated and graceful.Haven't you learned to change in a parking lot?!
Okay, well, I guess we'll just fill up our camelbaks at home and change when we get there! I don't really want to sit in my bike shorts for 5 hours in the car...
Actually it does! There is a restroom inside the rink that you are welcome to use. There's even a small bike shop but it doesn't have much and might not be open on Monday, but the rink should be.
Oh! I must have missed that on my trip. I just changed in the car when I went last summer.
Yep, there sure is a rink & bike shop there... but I'm not sure what their hours are. They were closed when Mark & I stopped there. I believe that was a Monday or a Tuesday.
East Burke overnight temps are dipping into the 20's right now. It's going to be good sleeping. 
And we're not going to super-heat the place to 90 with the woodstove this year rightEast Burke overnight temps are dipping into the 20's right now. It's going to be good sleeping.
It was still cool in the bunk rooms.And we're not going to super-heat the place to 90 with the woodstove this year right
I believe the people in the loft melted to the floor.
We had our window open LOL. I felt bad for the people in the loft though!It was still cool in the bunk rooms.

Okay...food planning and cost analysis so I need to know:
JBP - Are you in?
maddog17 - Are you able to make it?
Any other takers?
I have:
TreeSaw & Sq-Earl
Cromby1 (+Mike)
IAB & MBC
QuoFan & Big T
irishblue76 + Mark
BikeGeek
Sandwich
BadDNA
mudgirl (+ guest)
PolandSpring88
Greggah
Yelo & Melou
MadDog17 (?)
JBP (?)
If everyone above (including JBP & maddog17) can make it the cost is looking like it will be a little under $75 per person. Cash is preferred, but a check is fine (especially for the couples). I'll post up the official cost and menu early next week.

Doing a long ass hike Saturday followed by a long ass ride Sunday......Monday will most likely result in much couch time and powdering.

Okay, thanks! I'll keep my fingers crossed.
You'll like it! Lots of fun! We may ride Friday too, so I'll let you know. I can send you a foo loop too if you want.
no worries...Friday may work better for us anyway (with an early dinner at Long Trail).
