Why you people tolerate that Eastern $hit is beyond me. :D
Right now, it's for work in DC. The traffic does blow baad ( Boston x2), but the riding is pretty damn nice. Am a skier & paddler too, miss those friends, yet with year-round riding I don't long for cold N.E. winters.

If all you new people find glitter all over your stuff in the morning. I don't have access to the Glitter fairy or the RM Courtesy phone. There is nothing I can do about it. That Glitter may or may not have touched my genitals.... I don't have time to keep track of that stuff......

If they don't specify what heavy machinery is. Then how am I supposed to know if I can operate it?? I almost certainly think I can...

Oh? Do you have random failings of internal organs and parts too???
We consider hers a general malaise. You take the cake in the "my body wants me dead" contest. If TN still had cancer he'd win for sure though.

jdcamb, have you still not gotten in touch with Victor Ward about that glitter? You should try him with Victor Johnson, that might work.

I'm not getting it again just to win some contest. I'll need a WAY better incentive than that. Say, a hundred bucks?

quote from one of my friends (yes i have friends): My cat's breath smells like a wh0re's corpse rotting beneath the deck boards of an old fishing schooner.
That makes no sense. Any good fisherman knows that dead whore makes for better bait when fresh.

Hey! I live in the D.C. area! And we are going to paddle some Class III-IV stuff on Sunday if you happen to have your gear with you, you should join us.

This is a GoPro screengrab from two weeks ago on the Lower Youghegheny river in PA.

invasion and occupation of a campground for a weekend with much wheeled excursions, excessive food consumption and drunken debauchery that usually results in a guest appearance of the local constabulary

location is TBA but its usually in the NE. I've been thinking of putting together a west coast version at Downieville in the Sierras. Just some 5000' verticle feet of shuttled descending on courses ranging from 16 to 23 miles, beer pizza and camping

This is relevant to my interests... I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter. Although CA is an awful long way to drive...

Monkeyfest is a gathering of beer drinkers with a biking problem. Eric has it correct, there is much beer consumed and much drunken debauchery. It is usually held mid-summer, in East Burke, VT at the Kingdom Trails trail network.

You've given the noobs too much info already. What if they're just spies from MTBR trying to invade out Monkeyfest traditions?

Nah, we are just a bunch of drama queens and dirty conspirators, basically interboobs criminals working on our next gig. We only invade weak minds and shred them to pieces with neg rep. But now I have given you too much info!
