Are there any "important" details about this even, like camping, and what time everyone is showing up Friday? I just went through all 19 pages and didn't see anything. :dead:
You need to get there early enough to hit the jump and stunts a bunch of times, get your tent set up, get drunk, and get to sleep early enough so that you don't die on the kickass XC ride on the Kingdom Trails on Saturday :help:

Just got approval to take that entire last week of July off for Vacation - I may have to get up to the Kingdom Trails a little bit earlier than Friday!!!

Oh well I thought that was Jackson's plan and it was mine till I found out I can't leave till 12pm that Friday. I just thought I heard some of the other people are meeting there. My bad! Bunch probably wasn't the right word.

Has any sort of schedule been posted? I'll probably only be able to be there for one day and wanted to make it the best day of riding.
This is the way it went on the first two hans2. I went for the Sat. only ride and both times were tooooooooo sweet.Be there ready to ride at about 10:00 a.m.From there it's a brisk wake up climb and about a 5 hour ride including the breaks,especially the stop by the river(so sweet).It's alot of fun :thumb: and the conversastions are priceless :mumble:

That's a good question. The first 'fest, everyone camped on someone's yard. I don't remember whose, but I haven't seen the offer this year. At the Fall 'fest a bunch of us camped at the campground at Burke Mtn. The lean-tos they have are very cool.
I'm not sure what the plan is this year, but if it's the campground we should reserve now.

Hello everyone. I plan on heading up Thursday night if everything goes well. If some reason no one is there feel free to set up your tent and hang out. One thing I need to ask from all of you is if you could part with a little cash (5 or 10 bucks). I need to pay for a potable toilet and a few other things like gas for the generator for the weekend. If I get enough money to cover my expenses the rest I'm donating to the beer fund. I’m not looking to make any money. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you next weekend! :) mark.
PS: I'll post the directions on Monday.

I have Friday off and plan on getting to East Burke some time late in the morning (11:00ish). I may head home Saturday night, but this will give me two days of riding. MBC will not be joining us. We're moving into our house in under a month and we seriously need to get packed, so MBC is going to stay behind and tend to that. I'll be staying at Monkeycamp, but I own no camp gear so I'll probably sleep in my car ala Dalton. :D

Hello everyone. I realize lots of people are coming from different places so the best way to do this is provide you with my location and you can go to mapquest and enter your starting location and print directions from that. Here is my location: [2636-2849] Pinkham Rd, East Burke, VT 05832.
Note: once you turn onto pinkham road from route 114 my camp is 1.2 miles up on the left. I will be heading up Thursday night. I'm looking forward to seeing all you up there! Mark.

Do we want to schedule a time/place to meet? How about noon at the bike shop?

Cool, cool! I wasn't expecting a ride like this Friday! :dancing:
