also don't forget to bring riding lights, the last time we had a trip there alot of people did some Dh runs at 11:30 i think it's going to become a tradition from now on. I will be participating this time
That was a great time! A case of beer and 2 DH runs at 12 AM will do the trick every time! Nothing like going up a laddar bridge7ft in the air to a steep roller and hitten a wallride in the dark> Drunk! Chris...

When should I be ready?
Still waiting for my boss to tell me the schedule, so it may be midnight when we get there, but I'll pick you up. I need to get a spot in the next day or two.

A little FYI, in case any of you are thinking about bringing non-Riding spouses/significant others there is great hiking and a pool in the park. My wife (and probably some of her friends) are probably coming along, so there will be other people about (in case your S.O. didn't want to sit around camp alone all day while you ride). The more the merrier, right?

I don't know. If 1/2 of the people who have posted show up, then we should have 15 or 20. It will be a lot more if the regular Arkansas DH crowd shows up.

But the handful of people who do know what it is, think its reallllllly coooool. We are going to try to be there. I start and internship this summer, so we'll have to see how that goes. I expect to have a ridiculously busy summer.

I know this is a longshot, but does anybody who is coming to Arky Monkeyfest have a DH stem that they want to get rid of?

Now that we are within spitting distance of June 2-4, how many people have made plans to be there?

I'm in (and my non-riding wife is coming along). We are probably bringing our kayaks and will hit the Buffalo River on the way back home.

For those of you who know him, Aaron (AttheGates) will be there too.

That makes 3.

Well, Cooter and TTGF can vouch for my general lameness
I was referring to the under-age troupes that seem to show up at all the races (or the ones I have been to anyway).

Well, we all hope they won't show up.

However, you will have to deal with Loco and N8 cuddling around the campfire.

Does anyone have any ideas how to meet up with other Monkeys once we are there? It will be a little more complicated since people may be camping in 3 or 4 different places.

DH shuttling will be easy, there is really only one spot for that (the race course) and it is close to the good camping in the national forest.

What about XC?

Does anyone know how this has worked for the NE Monkeyfest?
