- Thread starter johnbryanpeters

ill be there. now its a matter of what bike ill want to bring. itll be between a special ed stumpy 120 or a rigid ss. im leaning toward the ss because that is what ill be racing xc on this season. hmmmmm..... i have an xc race on the 23rd and its a 4 hour drive so ill probably have to leave earlier in the morning to get there. oh well, it will at least be a fun-filled weekend!

not yet. form one if you would like. there is just a large concentration of monkeys in new england and we all like to ride together and be merry instead of being split up and boring.Summit said:
Without. My weekend. :evil:narlus said:
You?
LOL!!! That would make the group ride an interesting adventure for sure! I have spoken to the grandparents and they are eager to have her all to themselves for the weekend...we're still not sure this is a good idea as they will continue to spoil her rotten!!!pigboy said:
not sure, but it's a ton easier w/o...then again, i've already got my MTB weekend booked (trip to pisgah)...we'll see.McGRP01 said:

Only if you come on the nightride. We would have to do it with pitchers of Trout River Scotch Ale though.....partsbara said:

Would be cool for a lot of monkeys if you could make it I suspect.narlus said:
I'm still in the air, if I don't have a real job after graduation I will probably make it. If I do get a job I'll be riding somewhere in the PNW hopefully.
Agreed.MMcG said:
The Monkeyfest again falls on my wedding anniversary weekend, but I don't think we are heading out of town this year, so...I am in and am psyched to see everybody!!!
3 weeks till the Kingdom Trails open (weather permitting). The students at LSC should be getting geared up to do some trail work so there will no doubt be some new trails to sample!

I've never been before, but I'm hell bent on making it. I'm coming from the danbury CT area. PM me if anyone wants to carpool.
....I'm down for 40 hands, so long as it's malt liquor only. Beer 40s are grounds for teabagging.

Still not sure if I'm going to make it. Last year was good times, though.
I'll be in VT until I graduate at the end of May and then I come back about a week later for 3-4 weeks on the long trail...not sure how much Vermont I can handle.

I'd like to try to get up there to meet up with all of you monkeys so I am laying the ground work now... It will be a long drive!!! but maybe I can get Manhattanprjkt to go, and we can split the driving!!!
it sounds like a blast... any suggestions on a good campsite? or is there not a bad seat in the house?

is there some universal plan for where people are staying or is it just find your own place and everyone will meet at "blank?"

Most people stay at the Burke Mountain ski area campground, and hang out when not riding.

LOL! Good catchMcGRP01 said:Fixed that for you!
Did anyone check on the larger place? That could be a fun place for all to stay...I can't remember who mentioned it on page 1 or 2 of this thread. I can certainly give them a call if everyone wants to stay there.
Edit: As posted by BikeGeek on page 2
I just sent him an e-mail to see about price and availability. I'll let everyone know what I find out.
I was just thinking about that as well. Good call!TreeSaw said:

Ok - I just got an e-mail back from the owner of the Algonquin Lodge. It is available for the weekend of July 21st and can sleep 20 inside. It has 2 full baths and a full kitchen and a pool table in the basement. I have an e-mail in to find out if we can add people on cots/sleeping bags too. Not sure about the cost for the weekend...he asked me to suggest a group price 
Any thoughts?
If people are interested in staying...I may even be willing to do some cooking for the group and make it a package deal.

T, does he have a website? Where is this place in relation to the Pub Outback/downtown area? Trail access? I'm in for sure, just curious...TreeSaw said:Ok - I just got an e-mail back from the owner of the Algonquin Lodge. It is available for the weekend of July 21st and can sleep 20 inside.

I am super iffy about if I'll be able to attend, it all depends on if/when/where I will have a job this summer. Somebody save room in a tent for me perhaps....hell I'll sleep in my car with my bike if I decide to go last minute
It's across from the baseball field just north of town.McGRP01 said:
Says $400/night here. That's only $20/night each with 20 people.TreeSaw said:Ok - I just got an e-mail back from the owner of the Algonquin Lodge.

Anyone have a definate / maybe count?
The place is about 1/2 mile from the Pub Outback and there are trails out the back door that take you right to the Bike shop.McGRP01 said:
Here are directions: from the bikeshop head North on 114 towards Burke Mountain. Go around the corner and the place is on the Left(before the town park). It is a GREAT location!
I don't think he has a website....
Trails open in 19 days!!! Yeah!!!!
