As long as beer won't be rained out, it's all good.
Monkeyfest 2006 -- Part Deux???
- Thread starter TreeSaw
- Start date
I've never seen beer get rained out. I hear that produce cannons are just as entertaining in bad weather too.
Definitely try to hook up with JRogers (he lives relatively close to Manahttan) and then you can both come!!!I have money in hand for this trip, however after driving 1,800 miles by myself in the last 3 days I am getting stir crazy in the car. If anyone is leaving and has a place in their car for a skinny Californian and his bigwheeled bike I will be there in a heart beat. I'm currently in Michigan, heading to Rochester and planning on a trip to Manhattan to visit friends. If you are anywhere in that region let me know and I'll make the drive with you.
I figure this trip is well worth it, I just can't stand driving my car another 16+ hours by myself. I've exhausted my CD collection and filled up every page in my notebook.
Let's ride though!

Rain huh? Guess I better pack some extra beers and munchies...there's always room for that stuff anyway!
Is it too late to join in? I can't ride due to shoulder surgery, but I am fun to laugh at when I get drunk. I also bring a ton of photography equipment. You could stick me at strategic locations along the trails and I will make you hit the same run over and over until I get the shot. Besides, it would be great to meet you monkeys and make some new friends.
You would be welcome to join us. There are always a great deal of drunken antic to be had! I'll add you to the list.
Thank you. I didn't read the entire thread. Are the specifcs, times, directions etc. in there? Should I bring any thing specific? Going to doctor now. Probably think of a lot more questions. Later, Chris
Good luck at the Dr.
Specifics are: $50 per person (if we can get the magic number and we're getting close) includes a bed, 2 breakfasts, munchies for Saturday and 1 dinner (we eat dinner out on Saturday) and dessert. Bring your own beer, I will provide coffee & OJ. Sleeping bags are best, but there are sheets if needed. Directions can be found on the KT site or I can send you some later. The lodge is just past the bike shop on the left (next to the baseball field).

Treesaw, I take it that is Saturday dinner?? Pizza or Pub Outback for Friday?
Either Friday or Saturday. Last time we did it on Friday, but I am flexible...depends on where everyone wants dinner (Trout River would mean we need to dine out on Friday, Pub Outback we can do either night). Also, keep in mind there is supposed to be a Trout River tent on Saturday for the Fall Festival in town
You're the BEST!!
Ah...thanksYou're the BEST!!
Seconded, You rock T!You're the BEST!!
imo, Sat. night is the better night to eat out, but that means no Trout river pizza

I agree.
I just follow the crowd, yo. 
Hmm, I was kind of hoping that I would be the hit of the party.I want you all to take note - this will be the HIT of the party, I'm sure :biggrin:
I will think of you with every bite.I want you all to take note - this will be the HIT of the party, I'm sure :biggrin:
Time to bust out the fenders and slip n' slide. And beer of course
I'm waiting to hear back from JRogers, but I am pretty sure we are go.

I will let you know tommorow treesaw for sure, how is the forecast looking or dare I ask.
It's looking like rain Friday, but clear skies for the weekend. It's probably going to be a bit chilly...mid 50's.
Sounds good. Still waiting to hear if Echo's in or not. He was on the fence this weekend.
I'm liking the way this forecast is shaping up, except that we'll all be driving up there in the wet. Who's bringing the shop sized bottle of chain lube? I wouldn't be terribly surprised (though it could go either way) if the rain Friday was eliminated from the forecast too as the week goes on.
do we know if the woodstove is ok to use?
Get his sorry ass to come:biggrin: If he wanted to drive myself and S.N.A.K.E. gas would sure be a lot cheaper.
It should be fine. Everything looked to be in order during our last stay and there was a stack of firewood. I am sure we'd need to bring our own though.
Pedro's syn lube and the hose at the bike shop =
If I go it's gonna be me and the GF. Sorry but y'all are on your own this time. You might wanna get ahold of ito or Sorgie and see if they wanna pool.
and what do you mean If ????
Word. I might pool with S.N.A.K.E., I just don't know how much I want to spend money/be in a car for exceedingly long amounts of time.
My car's gonna be full. (read I hope someone buys my stuff so I can get a new bike:biggrin: )
Treesaw I am out, I just cant blow a bunch of money on gas, beer, food, and lodging when I currently don't have a job. I hope the weather is good for you all, and look for me at the regular monkeyfest again next year. Or perhaps even a spring one...:biggrin:
For you homeslices who are aiming for a noon arrival Friday, are we going to eat lunch somewhere then go for a ride, or just ride and then worry about eating? What's the plan, yo.
(edit: if the current forecast holds up, I'll be eating and then NOT riding until Saturday

If it's gonna be crappy, I'm not gonna bust my ass to get up there Friday. Expect me to roll in around 4pm...For you homeslices who are aiming for a noon arrival Friday, are we going to eat lunch somewhere then go for a ride, or just ride and then worry about eating? What's the plan, yo.
