Now as much fun as all this sounds, and I did take off that weekend with intentions of hitting the Ocean City, Maryland beach coastline all that weekend, Northeast Monkey Fest, judging by what I've read, in New Hampshire, sounds more like Northpole East monkey fest to me. As much fun as I'm sure it would be to ride by day and get loaded with you people by night, that would mean taking my bike apart, trusting Southwest Airlines to get it there without cracking or breaking something, lodging, etc, in other words, a TON of money. So my next question would be, is there any Monkey Fest near Maryland any time soon? I mean I hear the riding up there is great, but flying to ride somewhere for a weekend, I'm the only one hardcore enough around here to do it. Not one of my freinds is into mountain biking that much like I am. Are there any monkey fests near MY area or am I just stuck to the Patapsaco State Park, with rangers that tear down jumps the day after you build them late at night with a shovel and a flash light in your mouth. Not that I'm saying I do that, because as we all know, that would be illegal in a National State Park of course.
