My CT post was just a suggestion - nothing more, nothing less. Just thought CT would be fairly central for Monkeys from NY, MA, RI, and even VT, and obviously the CT Monkey contingent could or would be in full force.

And what about Quebec Monkeys??? :mumble:

i drove 84 from brewster, NY into MA today, and there looked like some kickass terrain around a lot of it. there's gotta be some great trails somewhere, eh? i could do a 2+ hr drive to get to the goods.

Over there somewhere.
The Quebec trip is mandatory for a class.

1st weekend in May

Ft Rock, Bear Brook, Fox State are my candidates

If it's Fox State there is plenty of areas to camp at and is only a short drive to the Hospital trails in Concord which is a really fun and really technical trail.

Bear Brook has great camping and riding as well.

Haven't ridden Bear Brook in quite awhile, that sounds like a plan.

Ok, bear brook on the 1st Weekend of May. Still an easy drive to get to the Hospital Trails.

We could always plan something different. :sneaky: :devil:
With the exception of Dalton and MF3, my calendar is wide open for the next 6-7 months. So, anytime Jozz wants to head down to CT for some guided riding, I'd down. :cool:

A trip to Quebec is a must for this summer!

Better hurry cause Bromont might not be open for long... :dead:

what's the story w/ Bromont???
They are adding a bunch of condos at the bottom, on the right when you arrive. They are cutting a new mountain side with four new ski slopes thus destroying a bunch of trails.

Championat du monde #6
Bing Bang #7
Part of extra légère #5
And a bunch of not on map trails.

Thos are not the hardcore DH trails, but they are the good warmups/last run trails.

They say that those trails will remain open... but hard to cut all the trees to create a ski slope and keep the trail in descent condition... :(

Remember I'm the one putting this one on(In NH), so what's the point of the person who is organizing this to go way out of the way? I chose Bear Brook because of the trails there and I feel it would be the easyest of the big trails in NH to get to.

Ok, I'm still planning on doing this gathering, checked at Bear Brook the other day and there appears to be an entrance fee during their regular season.

OK I'm confused. Can somebody post all the major details in one post. It seems like everything is scattered around, but I'm a definite maybe.

plus the last 3 are being planned for around the same time.......so I dont see all 3 happening

Doug's thing was more MMcg & McGRP01 idea, which I thought was a damn good idea so I offered up my yard for camping/started a thread

I didnt know about Rip's until yeterday / but his choice of location is pretty much too long haul for me

I'm probably going to move mine up to the 23rd and the 24 of April and I am going to do a bit more research on location, so far Bear Brook still stands.
