verdict?
Fall Monkeyfest
- Thread starter TreeSaw
- Start date
T, can we maybe pull some people from the Capital MTB board? I can post something about the trip later. We could also throw another post on the Elevate Cycles board to see if there is any more interest.
We're still on.
I am working on cost now, but it's $85 currently and hopefully going down.
I am waiting to hear back from the capital mtb folks that were interested. They were supposed to let me know today so hopefully they will.
I will post something later on the Capital MTB and Elevate boards as a reminder.
Davis and I are still in and planning to stay Friday night and Saturday night and leave Sunday afternoon. Is anyone planning on staying Sunday night too.

We don't have the lodge for Sunday night.
FYI -- I have already posted reminders on the boards too.
We're going to get there noonish Friday. Gotta get that $85/person worth! 
BTW, the brewery takes reservations for parties of six more more.
Mmmmm.......pizza Saturday...
Bring your lights.

I think you should come and lead it
You've never been?

nope....but I think it's time!(we usually hit the Long Trail Brewery on the way up for lunch & beers).
It'd be kind of a long ride...especially after gorging on pizza and beer. It's right in the center of Lyndonville...maybe a 10 minute drive from the lodge.
Early weekend weather forecast:
Sunny all three days, low 70's, peak foliage.

YEAH!!!! I am working on the menu right now. Any suggestions?Thus far I have brainstormed: homemade mac-n-cheese, tortelloni in a creamy tomato sauce (either would be served with good bread & a salad) or perhaps beef stew with bread or a pasta w/zucchini, tomatos and sausage in a white wine, garlic sauce
What to make, what to make...
Whatever you make I will eat.
MBC and I will roll into town around noon Friday. We'll park at monkey HQ and ride for a few hours.

To all of you Monkeys heading up to the Kingdom. Have a blast!
I wish you great weather and equally great riding!

Me either! But, there's still time to change that
I can't believe I missed both MF's this year.
Friday: Sunny, with a high near 74.
Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 76.
Sunday: Partly sunny, with a high near 73.
This will be the first time in the last four KT trips for me that it doesn't rain.

How much just for Friday night? and 1 breakfast?
Let me look at the numbers, but it wouldn't be too bad. Dinner Friday, lodging & Breakfast Maybe $35-40 (everyone else is paying $85 right now).
ok, that seems fair
.....but I am still doubtful

Keep me posted!
Where exactly is the lodge? I haven't been there before.
As far as food goes, I am allergic to eggplant and raw pineapple, I think everything else is fair game.

Done!
I replied to you on the SMBA board. I will PM you my cell # too!
URGH. I've been congested all week - someone is going to have to drive me to the top of darling hill 
^^meh, a good climb will have you shooting productive snot rockets in no time. as far as location goes, i'm also in the dark. i can get kinda close with map quest, but really don't have any idea where the campsite/cabins are. food? i'll eat cardboard with some salt after a good ride, so whatever gets cooked!

I91 to Exit #23. Right turn onto Rte 5 North at the bottom of the ramp. Follow Rte. 5 North through* Lyndonville. There's a couple of turns in the center of Lyndonville, but stay on Rte. 5. At traffic light, bear right onto Rte 114. Follow Rte 114 to East Burke. When you get to East Burke, go through town and stay on Rte 114. (Don't go towards Burke Mtn. on Mountain road) You'll go up a small hill. The lodge is on the left at the top of the hill just before, and next to a baseball field. It's only about a 1/4 mile from the center of East Burke to where the lodge is.
*If 5:00PM or later when you are in Lyndonville, stop at Trout River Brewing (it will be on your left) for Nitro Stout, Altered Trout, and pizza.

Sleeping bags, pillows if you want your own, beer, $ for TreeSaw, lights for a night ride, bike gear, beer, any snacks that you might like for post-ride Saturday (there will be some too) & shower stuff.
I'll bring the rest.
C-ya Friday!!!!
Davis and I are planning on leaving here around 3p so we should see you all between 7p and 8p. I look forward to meeting you all.
dinner time
Actually, we're hoping about 5pm-ish.
Will the lodge be open earlier than that? MBC and I will get there around noon then ride for a while. It'd be nice to unpack a bit when we first arrive.dinner time
