Welcome to RM and welcome to monkeyfest! So tell us about yourself, D.2. Where are you from, how'd you find this place, what kind of beer do you like (if any, though it's sort of a requirement).Count me in for this. I will also bring a friend - Matt.
Wouahahaha!Is you're friend R.2?
DO I sense a Burke Mt Road Challenge coming up ?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?
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'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?
We'll hit Harpoon if we make it Thursday if anyone is going 91North.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?
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.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...
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.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....
Hey! Don't "LOL" at me TreeSaw, I still remeber some quote from you from last year minutes before the said night ride....LOL! There are always legs for the drunken night ride.
I've got a couple of spare lights as well. I'll try to remember them.I'll try to remember to pack more than one set of lights.
Millstone has a map & well marked trails PLUS 3 recommended loops, just follow the colored arrowsWe 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!
That doesn't sound like fun at all, but I will probably do it anyway.DO I sense a Burke Mt Road Challenge coming up ?
Good luck D.2... it's not for meThat 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.Agreed! A race up that road would kill me for the day.
How about we hide a keg of beer at the top?No need to race - I might do the ride, but it'll be on the Heckler.
Shortage of beer has never been an issue at Monkeyfest.How about we hide a keg of beer at the top?
I believe we can squeeze 1-2 more into the lodge. We're looking at about 24 nowTreesaw, is there still room for one more? I'm trying to cajole a friend of mine to make the trip with me.
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
Brings back some great memories of that trip last year! 1.5 weeks till I have my first trip up there this season...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.
Yeah, no tents allowed though you could set one up in the scary basement area I suppose.I thought I remembered something about no tents allowed at the lodge. Is that true?
