Not to shabby!

Looks like I'll be bringing my Rocky Mountain instead of my Titus. :( We have to take the wife's truck (I'm having car issues) and the Titus doesn't fit in it. Oh well. I'm faster on the Rocky Mountain.
I am going back and forth between the Ted Wojcik and the Soul Hardline.

The Ted is lighter and has full squish, the Soul has newer components on it.

Hmmmmm.......

IAB we could probably carry the Titus on Laura's hitch rack if you want.

Hey all. Im a ridemonkey newbie. I will be up at the kingdom trails with my wife and a couple buds. I ride with a guy named doug and he is leading us up there on friday night. I have a new black honda truck and we should be camping so I hope to see you all. I have a big yeti with 66rc so youll probably see me huffing up the hills. If you do come on up and say hi. :thumb:
Hey welcome to the Monkey and just look for a bunch of nuts wearing green and grey and black RM jerseys! :D We'll probably be extremeley hard to miss!

Back from two days at Kingdom.

Big ride on the SS + killer heat and humidity = :dead:

The new Tody's Tour might just be the best flowing trail ever made by mankind :thumb:

Got my link from Santa Cruz, Blur will be ready, no SS for me.

Anyone planning on doing a shuttled night ride friday night??

Can't wait! :dancing:

Well we are looking a at a pretty slow pace this weekend, so I would not concern yourself too much about weight or speed.

I'd love to take you up on that hitch offer! The Titus is just so much more fun to ride.

gotta love those stray thunderstorms.

hey treesaw, you have some form of heat for cooking? Thats like the only thing I can't provide.

There doesn't seem to be enough interest in the turkey so in the interest of saving space I'm not doing turkey. I think I'm gonna get more kabobs ready though. I remember- less onions, more mushrooms.
Yupper! I have a propane stove and I am locating my little charcoal grill for grilling purposes.

I still do not have a operational bar light. I guess I should have addressed the battery issue sooner...
I've got lights Yo and we probably won't be there in time for a Friday night shuttle so you can use mine - you might need a little thing to keep the lights tight on the bar though - mine's missing a little shim piece so at Dalton Doug and I sorta ghettorigged it with zip ties and tape to get it to stay put.

You can use my bar lights if you want Babs.

Anyone got an extra shim thingy for a bar mount light they don't need or want??

firewood and ice available at campground office. :thumb:
I didn't see any ice there last weekend, but they do have coffee in the morning. :thumb:

The store in town that sells gas has 5 pound bags of ice for about $1. I also suggest stopping in one of the 2 beer stores in Lyndonville on the way through. (The one next to Brooks Pharmacy is a little better). Pick up ice and beer at the same time. :D They both had Long Trail, Otter Creek, and Magic Hat.

I had a long trail IPA out of a sampler pack the other night - I can't recommend their IPA
vs. the competition out there. Their Blackberry ale sure is mighty tasty though! :thumb:

Maybe I got a bad batch of em then. I guess compared to Harpoon and others I just found the taste to be unpleasant to me. My taste buds think the rest of their offerings kick arse though! :dancing:

I didn't say I drink all beers, just that everybody has different tastes. I'm probably going to equally divide my time between yingling and magic hat.

We all have different tastes, so unless your fav beer is icehouse (we call it a$$house) then I'm not going to get on my pedestal and judge you. Lets just get drunk and go for a ride.

OK, everyone bring their leftover Bud and Coors Light from their family picnics and give it to Sweeper!
