Wouahahaha!
Good one Phil!
Melou and me are in, claiming the darkest corner of the loft and should be their some time friday....
We have met before Phil. My name is Dana but many around here call me D2 because I often ride with Dana Lee and it's less confusing that way. And I love to drink beer, as long as it's something interesting and/or good. I have been known to consumer watery American crap beer but only in cases of extreme emergency. My friend Matt does not drink but I expect he will fit right in regardless.
Oh, Hey Dana! Eammon here. Welcome aboard. Any interest in joining some of us for a trip to Bromont on Friday?
It's okay guys, he's cool.
Anyone else in for Bromont? Come on, it's fun, all the cool kids are doing it.

I'm putting my request in for Friday off. I would love to ride bromont. How many people are in so far, any?
I think just me right now, if you can make it that's two of us.
He speaks to R2 all the time
Gonna pass on Bromont but I might be interested in joining the road ride that some have been contemplating on one of the days. Should I bring my bike and stretchy road weenie gear with me?
WooHoo!!! This crowd is shaping up nicely. Dare I say we will FILL the lodge? 
I am counting down the days already!!!

MBC and I may be looking at a late Thursday post-dinner arrival now. Worst case scenario will be an early Friday arrival, but I really want to get there Thursday and wake up in Burke Friday morning.
We're heading up Thursday for sure, debating a stop at Pine Hill Park in Rutland and lunch at Long Trail on the way up for a mid-afternoon arrival. Anyone care to join us?
I was thinking of an alternative proposal - come to our camp in Addison, VT Wednesday, we'll hit either Hinesburg Town Forest or Millstone on the way up Thursday...
We'll hit Harpoon if we make it Thursday if anyone is going 91North.
Sounds like a plan. Millstone is fun and I've nver ridden Hinesburg. I'll check with Sq-Earl and let you know for sure.
We are planning for a late friday afternoon arrival so we can ride friday night, last times, we came in to late to go with the gang and we decided to be part of it this time, hope you guys keep some legs for the drunken friday night ride....
Hmm, maybe I should buy a small light for a night ride 
I'll try to remember to pack more than one set of lights.Hmm, maybe I should buy a small light for a night ride
LOL! There are always legs for the drunken night ride.
Hey! Don't "LOL" at me TreeSaw, I still remeber some quote from you from last year minutes before the said night ride....
I've got a couple of spare lights as well. I'll try to remember them.
We are definately going up on Thursday... and we are planning on stopping by Millstone for the first time on the way home (we took off through the following Wednesday). We'll have to get some tips from those of you who have already been there.
I can't wait!
I can't wait!
Millstone has a map & well marked trails PLUS 3 recommended loops, just follow the colored arrows
That doesn't sound like fun at all, but I will probably do it anyway.
Agreed! A race up that road would kill me for the day.Good luck D.2... it's not for me
No need to race - I might do the ride, but it'll be on the Heckler.
Hmmm..... I might be up for just a day or one night. I'm not sure about the road climb tho. There is a race in the fall. http://www.burkemountainbikerace.com/event_details.html
How about we hide a keg of beer at the top?
Treesaw, is there still room for one more? I'm trying to cajole a friend of mine to make the trip with me.
I believe we can squeeze 1-2 more into the lodge. We're looking at about 24 now
I thought I remembered something about no tents allowed at the lodge. Is that true? If not, I would be more than happy to bring my tent and sleep in the field. That way we'll have another bed and I won't keep anyone awake with my snoring.I believe we can squeeze 1-2 more into the lodge. We're looking at about 24 now
You guys should ckeck out this video that Dave Tozer put together of our trip up to KT last October. The end is so beautiful it might make you cry. If you watch closely you might spot Bad DNA as he crosses us on the trail.

I tried to convince Dave to fly out from Indiana to join us at Monkeyfest but no luck. Maybe next time.
