when I get a job! Happy to meet you out there any time though, I would like to wait until I get my rear rotor, should be tomorrow at the earliest.
Need moar Jester - The 2012 Monkeyfest thread
- Thread starter BadDNA
- Start date
Word up, pup. The trails are 2 minutes from me and I'll likely start bringing my bike to work everyday so I will be good to go on a moment's notice.
I went to school in central VT, I know all about the Green Screamers. What I have waiting in the wings should make anyone cringe.

Treesaw, I told you last year that you should change the date of the MonkeyFest!!!
It's the same weekend as the FestivAllezY/raid Jean d'Avignon in East-Hereford... and the Quebec Games in Shawinigan... and the IMBA TCC visit in Bromont... Damn!
I have an idea! Move the MonkeyFest to East-Hereford instead (45min away from KTA). Leave the fast rolling trails of Kingdom and come experience real singletrack where you'll actually need a few beers to cool down at the end of the day!

Have you BEEN to kingdom trails? It's like the perfect mix of death by singletrack with just enough fireroad to open up the lungs on a climb or two. Twenty miles of that and beers are like zomg the best thing ever.

Oh he's been.... that's how he got the custom title of "Man Whore"
Dude, that sucks that you can't make it again!!! Only 45 minutes to Hereford, though, you say? Hmm... Maybe a side trip would be in order.
If you can go 55 miles in 45 minutes then yea. It takes me 45 minutes just to get to the LG outlet and that doesn't involve a boarder crossing.

Looking forward to trying East-Hereford. So far I haven't had luck finding much interesting trail riding in QC.
I guess you haven't ventured up north yet....
I'd say he didn't ride in QC in the last 10 years.I guess you haven't ventured up north yet....
Jozz, I'll be at the "Future of mountain biking in Laurentides" conference tomorrow. We're talking about a non-motorized 850km trail network. Maybe we'll have time to catch up and grab a beer after that. Same phone number? Or come join us at Mont Avalanche at the end of the afternoon.
The fact that he moved from the US last year might have contributed to this situation...
Ah yes, was just thinking about that. Let's link up - are the trails ready to ride up there yet? Heard there was still snow in a lot of places!I guess you haven't ventured up north yet....
They are drying up but not rideable yet. Most of April will be trail care days up north. Moving in June, after that we'll link up and I'll show you some nice stuff.
Might attend Monkeyfest, but it will be totally last minute...
That sounds great, thanks! Good luck w/ the move.
I didn't choose the date...sorry
I actually wanted it to be the week after so we could do both! Sq-Earl and I are definitely interested in a trip to East-Hereford though. We'll talk about which day we'll be able to come up and would LOVE to hook up for a ride!!!
Also...I didn't choose the date...sorry
OK....seeking some local knowledge now...
so what is the major airport I ill need to fly into .......this place is BFE.

Boston or BTV
If you want to fly into Boston a day or two ahead I can offer you a ride and a place to crash before and after if you need it.
Or MHT Manchester, NH...2.5 hours out.
I now have +2.... are we gonna have room for everyone???
MBC and I booked a room at the inn, so that's two freed bunks.
I have a trade show that starts on Monday. Might not be able to make it. :/
grrr...
BigT and I booked into the Inn, also, freeing up another 2 bunks.
I know, sorry. I'm not used to being employed all year.
Is anyone interested in putting together something like a fifty mile route for Saturday?
Monday is not Saturday, nor is it Sunday.
Vacation Request: approved
I'll be doing the usual and heading out first thing Friday morning

In theory, yes....BUT this baby has to come out and I need to ride! Plus, I'll need a rest stop to pump at some point so this may not work for me this year
yeah!!!!!
50 mile bike ride? You're crazy.
How about 50 trips down Jester and Knight Slayer?
you bringing your road bike?!
I think I'll bow out at mile 25 and go drink beer. I enjoy the usual trail length, lets me save legs for other days. You marathoners can stick with your 50s, I'll ride 20s and sneak out for a night ride or burnham session later.
I'm not sure I've ever hit 50 miles over an entire KT weekend.
Oh geez, here I did a 20 miler a couple weekends ago and was thinking the usual long ride at m'fest would be a piece of cake this year. Then JBP goes and throws this out there! Hmmm.... I'm not sure I can realistically ride 50 miles of singletrack, and I'm certain I can't do it at your normal pace. But I'd be game to try something longer. Damn, I need to start training for m'fest!!!
Don't forget to train for the drunken night ride
