My girl and I have tix to the GABF this year up in Denver, CO. We're going to the Thur eve and Saturday during the day. We're looking forward to it! Are any other Monkeys going?

It's been a good/crappy summer, so with green chile roasting season a couple weeks away and Fall right around the corner, we're ready to for a mini-road trip before we head to New Zealand in Dec.

Jenn and I are going on Friday night and I'm going on Saturday. I want to see if any monkeys are interested in a lunch or drinks or something while I'm out there but will probably hold off planning until we get back from our trip to Peru.

Would like to grab drinks but you have to promise not to use the awful hipster filters on any photos you take. ;)

hey, if you bring a bike and have a free sunday in Lima, pm me.

We do big mountain rides (think 10000+ vertical ft down) on sundays, the ones in bike magazines, and will gladly take you for a ride.

Oh, man, I forgot you were in Lima.

That sounds awesome. Unfortunately, we only have about one day in Lima, into which we are trying to pack several sightseeing trips, a meal, and paragliding before jetting off back to the US. It's our last day on the trip and no bikes will be brought.

I hate all of you that are going to the GABF, I've been wanting to go for years but it would cost a lot for plane tix, hotel, and food/beer. Have fun everyone and stay safe!
