You know he's got a point...


I officially rename this the WESTERN Monkeyfest.

Anyone know of any good rental places in the area? Theres OTE in Fruita, but they want upwards of 60 bucks for anything decent.

It's twelve bucks a night per campsite (If you don't want an electric hookup), but we need some defined dates if we're gonna make reservations.

Any PNW and Cali monkeys interested in showing their faces at this event? It's not that far from SoCal really

 

[COmtbiker12]

Well....how about Halloween weekend? Let's just make it that date for now and try to get a rollcall as to how many think they're going to show.

 

[NoCoastFreeride]

Okay i don't have the attention span for this. I'm down anywhere in the Desert haloween weekend. I would like to rock Virgin, UT personally. Maybe we could meet up with Shuntavi and he would let some ride his land (from MTBR).

Tony planned this, but I doubt he's got permission from his 'rents yet. But i'm game, I would like to get away from Denver, though.

 

[COmtbiker12]

Also, we should try and get people to bring any sort of homemade stunts that can fit into a truck, that way we can toy around at the campground in between parties and all that, haha.

Virgin utah would be way too far for me unless it was in the summer and well....considering I start school august 12th that's pretty much out of the question for me.

And yes Eric I asked my mom. She said she's out of town that weekend so I'm thinking that my options are go up with a neighbor of mine who rides(non-monkey), drive up myself(get my license Oct8th), drive to Denver and catch a ride with Eric, or have my dad take me, lol....most likely I'll be able to go.

Yeah, Virgin's a little far, and from what I've heard, Fruita's killer. Lets just keep it at Last weekend in October, Fruita. Roll call? Who would be willing to go?

NoCoastFreeride is probably going right Eric? I'm most likely going, just gotta figure out my ride situation even though there's like 5 different options for me. I'll probably bring a friend from down here up. Im sure there's atleast a dozen CO monkies that will probably go.


We seriously should have name tags though, just to show what our handles are from RM.

 

[blue]

Nametags...yes...yes we should. I might be able to get another guy to go with me, I dunno. Would anyone want to go down that Thursday? I have it off, and why waste a perfectly good day of no school NOT in Fruita?

 

[LordOpie]

At this point, I'm a maybe. I'll see what the projected work load is at the beginning of October since I'm taking a day off next week and Oct.1 -- heading to Moab for the Skinny Tire Festival. That's right mutha bitches... I'm going to Moab to ride my road bike

If I do come and I'm alone and I can borrow my roommates bike rack, I can bring a couple people from Denver, like Tony... who's totally freaking me out by thinking that he's up for driving SIX HOURS straight having had his license for a total of THREE WEEKS

 

[Morryjg]

I'm a definite maybe. I will definitely make an effort to come out though! Fruita is so nice! Maybe this time I can actually make it out to some of the trails on road 18. :mumble: Opie....I may even bring out the roadie so you aren't the lone road .

 

[LordOpie]

Opie....I may even bring out the roadie so you aren't the lone road .

haha! Take that SS!

I'll bring my xc too... that's why I need my roomie's hitch rack, cuz my roof only holds two bikes at the moment.

 

[Rip]

You can already put Stosh on the bail list.

If I go I'll most likely be going on Friday afternoon after school...so leave around 3:30 or 4.

Dont worry, I most likely wont be driving by myself since I doubt my mom would even let me drive to Denver alone, hahaha. Chances are I'm gonna headup with a buddy of mine from down here so we can switch driving. I drove down to AngelFire from here, which is like....4 and a half hours.

 

[COmtbiker12]

If I go I'll bring 3 bikes, my V-10, Titan, and Rossin roadie.

 

[WheelieMan]

Fruita has some really good stuff, I would deffinately recommend it. If youre looking at doing more epic type rides though, moab will be more fun. Well at least you would have the option only being an hour from moab. I would love to make it out there, but the chances are even slimmer than jared from subway.

There's a few campgrounds there....

 

[blue]

Highline looks to be the best. We can reserve them if we can get a tentative count of who's coming and whatever. I need a rental bikey...I'm not in the mood to take my XC race bike...

 

[COmtbiker12]

See if you can rent some sort of Stinky or something along those lines.



Okay, time for official ROLL CALL here....

 

[blue]

Would a Blur be all right for it? The shop in Fruita has them, they're just massively expensive.

 

[COmtbiker12]

Shoudl be alright.

 

[Superdeft]

uh, so what's the plan as of now?

 

[blue]

Last weekend of October, Highline State Park Fruita CO...

 

[SkaredShtles]

I'm out Halloween w/e. Have fun with it, though, gents!

-S.S.-

 

[SkaredShtles]

<snip> heading to Moab for the Skinny Tire Festival. That's right mutha bitches... I'm going to Moab to ride my road bike

I have to say, the mere thought of going to Moab simply to ride a road bike is really, REALLY sad.........

-S.S.-

 

[SkaredShtles]

haha! Take that SS!

Ummm... yeah. You guys get on your roadbikes and ride around Fruita while we're riding Flight, The Edge, Chutes, Mary's, The Ribbon......

I'll try not to get TOO jealous............

-S.S.-

 

[pixelninja]

I mentioned this to the wife last night and got a solid "maybe". At least it wasn't a no! Last weekend in Oct sounds as good as any for me. I would be very interested in this, but by no means should this be construed as a "yes". Some friends of mine are starting to talk about a Moab/Fruita trip in Oct also, so I'll see what their plans are. I'll keep working on the wife...

We have a group that'll probably be heading out there in Oct or early Nov - just not Halloween w/e. With the kids Halloween is a family holiday for me.

xbluethunderx

[dropkick]

I might be able to make it down there.

 

[COmtbiker12]

Alright, xbluethunderx I nominate you as the official campground reservation person....

 

[pixelninja]

I'll bring my xc too...

IF you go and IF I go, you better!

 

[COmtbiker12]

No kidding, he'll have to otherwise Im still not too convinced LordOpie has anything but a roadie.
