I say go for it Greg. I'm already bringing two bikes for KT and Bromont but I might be able to find room for my road bike as well.
Sorry I don't plan on bringing my roadie. I already schlep too much stuff LOL
I might be up for it.
Suck it up cupcake...lol. You should be able to get 4 bike on the roof of that Subaru.
How's about joining me for a Bromont run on Friday?I can. Don't wanna.
alright brodilgione, i think i'm in for the weekend, and will consider a bromont trip on friday if i can get the time from work. then i can trail ride on saturday and be hungover on sunday. yay!
I bought my season pass last weekend, oh by the way the trails are still really freaking awesome!
We'll be there this W-E and we'll do the same...
Sandwich is a maybe for Bromont...are the rest of you gong to slap some baggy shorts on over your spandex, grab the body armor, full face helmets and step up or what?

O boy would I love to but just can't justify the $110 just to rent a DH bike.
I'm certainly not going to do it with a 100mm fox 32 attached to an Epic....lol
Yeah, that kind of stinks that it's so much to rent, but that is a great way to try it or do it occasionally. Plattekill had a great program where it was like 90 bucks and you got all the gear to ride with it, and your day pass....doesn't look like the case with Bromont.
Depends on whether we get our passports in timeSandwich is a maybe for Bromont...are the rest of you gong to slap some baggy shorts on over your spandex, grab the body armor, full face helmets and step up or what?
If not, we might just grab enhanced licenses too...I'll talk with Sq-Earl about it and let you know as we get closer.
No Bromont for me. I'll be Burking.
Is that the new slang for being gay?
That should not be an issue at all.Depends on whether we get our passports in time
MF = 7 plus weeks
Passports = As of (Tuesday May 25, 2010 ), we are processing routine applications in approximately 4-6 weeks from the time of application.
I expedited mine and got it 2 weeks.
Sorry to be completely ignorant... but are we talking Bromont in Quebec here?Sandwich is a maybe for Bromont...are the rest of you gong to slap some baggy shorts on over your spandex, grab the body armor, full face helmets and step up or what?
Bingo....
Anyone driving up from anywhere around Baltimore?
Doubtful...
But Jetblue and Airtran have flights to Boston from BWI for $129 Round trip with tax Thursday to Monday.....I'm sure someone would be willing to pick you up in Boston......Check the rates to bring a bike or ship it. Only 1 1/2 hour flight...still a 3+ hour drive to Kingdom trails...just a thought
Update...Southwest has flights for around $150 and

Hmmm... so people are riding Bromont before monkeyfest...Bingo....
You guys heading down after? We could go as a group...
That's the plan, I'm trying to get some of the folks from down here in the states to meet at KT, carpool to Bromont and ride together there for the day before going back to KT for the rest of the weekend.
Will these be served at monkeyfest?
Holy Isht, those look great but a couple of slices of bacon would make them AWESOME.Will these be served at monkeyfest?
Well let me know if you lock that down. I'd for sure be down to meet up with the crew here in MTL. You could even come see the office and meet some of the team!
Sounds like fun but Bromont isn't that close to Montreal, it's a bit of a hike in the wrong direction and there's going to be beer back at Burke that will need to be consumed.
AH - right of course... for some reason I had my wires crossed with Bruno. I always confuse the two but they're drastically different mountains.
Still down for joining if you guys go there and doing a train down to MF.
Right on...I'm still in, planning for Friday at the mountain.
Oh my!Will these be served at monkeyfest?
Yeah I'm going to agree with the bacon statement.

Hmmmm....might have to make that an appetizer for the Thursday night meal....
Love to join y'all for a ride...maybe, just maybe I can make it over, I'll be vacationing in Waitsfield, VT the same weekend...
We just spent the Memorial weekend up there, and the trails are fine (dusty actually). Couple a new treats await y'all, especially a nice little trail named Burnham Down.

you sure? it looks like it's an hour east of montreal, right along 10. Then it's south down 55/91 and almost right into Burke.
I think it took us 2-2.5 hours to get there when we made the trip from the monkeyfest lodge. Not a lot of time at the border that time though. There's also a nice brewpub less than a mile from the entrance.
Anyways, I'll see if I can get friday off and try to join up for a monkey-train up to bromont and back.
We used Burnham last year (fall) and it was GREAT!!! Come on over...you can't miss our group
Just follow the bacon clouds.Come on over...you can't miss our group
Thanks! I hope to make it...'wait until you see all the bridge work they've done on Burnham this Spring!We used Burnham last year (fall) and it was GREAT!!! Come on over...you can't miss our group
really? Last year about 1/3 of the trail was bridges - is it just one long bridge now?
I dunno, looks like maybe another hundred feet (or so) of bridge was recently built...but the bridge building is still a work in progress, b/c we saw two large piles of recently delivered materials (lumber etc) off trail...
Count me in for this. I will also bring a friend - Matt.
