Well, do not plan this around Kendafest, it is cancelled as of right now for 2009. I got an email from Kenda and all that was said was that they are aiming for 2010 for the next festival.

I am interested in joining up with this years fest but will most likely not be able to go if it is July 24-26, that is the date for the New England BBQ championships at the Harpoon Brewery in Windsor, VT that our BBQ competes in every year. I know a few others that will most likely go as well.

It definitely won't be that weekend....my sister's wedding (that I am in) is the 25th. I heard the same of Kendafest too :( I will follow-up with the lodge again so we can nail down some dates.

I could look later in August if that's better for everyone. Early July I have a race & a wedding so there are 2 weekends that are bad for us. I'd hate to have Monkeyfest without the usual offenders ;) Perhaps a July 4th long weekend and we make it a 3 day festival?

Like I said before, no matter what weekend it is, someone's going to miss it. I'd hate for that to be us, but if it is, so be it.

I might start training for SMF09 after work today to make sure I'm fit enough to keep up with the veterans, I don't want a repeat of last fall.


Question is, what do I train with? IPAs or Porters? :)

Once I was at a bike event... I had the brilliant idea to start off by drinking an entire 6'er of Victory Golden Monkey. I'm no lightweight (I was even less of a lightweight then), but that was a hell of a way to start the night. According to some of my friends I passed the point of slurred speech and started speaking in tongues.

My first ride at the Kingdom Trails was at MF, at night, ~25deg, 1/2 powered lights, in the leaves and completely hammered from many a beer and bourbon.

Ahhh that was fun...

It's looking like the weekend of August 15th. I am going to call to confirm with the Lodge at lunch today (or afterschool if I can't get him on the phone), so we should know by tomorrow.

Bummer...:( Becky and I are planning on being in Vermont for a week starting that weekend but over on Lake Champlain, not really anywhere near E. Burke.
