Nice shots Splat. Is that Brungeman with the black 575? if so nice bike you got there.

Looks like fun, but why'd the drinking stop so early? Shouldn't you guys all been drunk while riding so that everybody was just as fast?

Great pics, great writeup. I almost made it to Monkeyfest last year but things ended up not working out... looks like I'm a little too far away now :p

I hope that was a new tire you ran across the cake to get those markings, and not whatever wheel came to hand after a day of riding ;)

The lodge was perfect, all the monkeys were supa nice and the riding was insane!

Special mention to Tim and Dave for the home brews and Tshirt.

Had a great time, see you next year!

It was great being at MonkeyFest again!

Thanks to Treesaw for the morning pancakes!

Congratulation to Douglas and Jrodgers for making it through the entire ride with the French Connection! :sneaky:

Doing Sidewinder twice was a blast... climbing West branch twice was... :dead:

********************************************

A very special thanks to Echo for bringing my new frame. :monkey:

Here's the bike all built up and ready to ride!

Monkeyfest was a blast. I called in to see if I was working yesterday and it turns out they didn't need me today, of all the times for a random day off today is perfect. Nice meeting you all, riding, and of course drinking homebrew.

The saison that bikegeek made was good for sure. I also have a new urge to start using my clipless pedals again, climbing there with my flats sucked!
