Would like to ride in VT, Highland, Killington, but it's a long drive...

 

[jonKranked]

maybe this will be the year?

Hope so homey. MFest is always a good time. Hopefully it doesn't rain this year....all year.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

What month ?

 

[johnbryanpeters]

What month ?

Usually mid-July, @TreeSaw!

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Usually mid-July, @TreeSaw!

Gotcha. I won't be in New England by then. Guesstimate is New Jersey for mid July.

Hike faster.

Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine.

Yes, usually mid-July. I can start looking at weekends and checking availability.

 

[ICEBALL585]

I would love later in July if at all possible. Already got a family trip planned near the beginning/mid July.

 

[pigboy]

I think I'm in.

Might be in California first week of July

 

[binary visions]

I'd be in for June - I'll actually be in NE for the spring, so if it ends up earlier I'd definitely participate!

We'll be up in the Canadian Rockies again in July. Poor me.

 

[crombie1]

Mid to end of July works for me. Any preferences on location? KT as usual?

 

[Sandwich]

I'd be up for KT as it seems to work and I loved both the old and the new lodge. I'd be up for a change of venue as long as it's also cool- I love the way that people can do their own thing and still end up at the same spot. That wasn't the case at sugarbush but the trails and apres ride were both great.

I'd be up for either/whatever. If late july is the ticket then @binary visions I'd be happy to do a mini trip to ride some trails without all the fanfare.

 

[Muddy]

Definite maybe.

MonkeyFest's New England bias is racist and exclusionary, as reflected by the administrator power structure.

They probably hate you from the time you rode with Wumpus.

Look what the cat dragged in

I think it would be safer to say they hate me from the time I rode with them.

Howdy!

Disappear for 2 years, pop up for a minute and post 3 times, disappear for 4 years again.

Welcome back for however long you're staying this time!

June is crazy here. We have final exams, gymnastic national championships and graduation. Would have to be July for us.

I figure it better for your sanity that way.

I find that extra hard to believe.

They still love the midnight. lol

 

[gonefirefightin]

hmmmm, might be able to actually swing it this year since Yellowstone is in august. will be following to see the dates unfold

 

[TreeSaw]

How about July 18-21st (Thursday-Sunday)? Looks like that might be the weekend for the Lodge we have been staying at.

On my calendar...

 

[jdcamb]

I probably won't be able to attend this year. I would understand if it needed to be put off until next year. Sorry about that.

We'll be up in central NH (Laconia area) until the end of June. I don't have a bike right now, but we're going to be amusing ourselves by knocking off some of the 4k footers while we're waiting for the Rockies to melt. Always happy to meet up if we can work something out!

That weekend should be good for me as well. If it was any earlier in the month then I wouldn't be able to go.

 

[jdcamb]

My stay in Marshfield MA is before the monkey fest. I would need to drive home that way anyways. I will bring sausages again.
